Physics is a way to predict the future

It is quite beautiful to look at it like that.

That which previous generations would treat as magical, and divine.

We are doing better and better right now.

Of course, in a way, humans are trying and often successfully predicting certain daily aspects of the future all the time. Will this car stop if I cross the road? Will this glass break if I drop it?

But there's a beauty to the level of precision that can be achieved with physics and other natural sciences.
