Physics is the most fundamental science. It involves understanding the basic principles by which all things in the universe exist and operate. Therefore physics is the foundation of other scientific disciplines and the natural basis of all the technology disciplines such as electronics, engineering and computer science which were pioneered by physicists. The most famous scientists, such as Einstein and Newton, were physicists. Physicists are versed in mathematics, computer programming, and the design of complex instruments. As such, they are among the most versatile scientists, able to easily cross boundaries into other disciplines such as chemistry, biology, medicine, earth and planetary sciences. For example, there are biophysicists, geophysicists, astrophysicists and neurophysicists.
