Modern Physicists are Data Analysts, This is Why (An Opinion)

<p>When someone who had taken physics class before, either in high school or college, asked about physics, what they have in their mind are probably something like these: lots of formulas, lots of on-paper calculation, lots of exercises about ball rolling down a slope, friction force analysis of a turning car, determining the electric and magnetic field using Coulomb Law and Biot-Savart Law, predicting the velocity of pouring water from a small hole using Bernoulli&rsquo;s principle, et cetera. Also don&rsquo;t forget the tears and countless sleepless night you may spent because all of the above.</p> <p>After all of that, you may asked, &ldquo;What&rsquo;s all of that for?&rdquo;, even more when you remember that most of the calculation you did were not realistic: you assumed that the air is frictionless (not true), that the flow of the fluid is steady and incompressible (mostly not true), that the electric field is uniform everywhere (impossible), and so on and so forth.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@christopher.wiguna/modern-physicists-are-data-analysts-this-is-why-an-opinion-f1b757b3324c"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
