Physicist
Physicists are scientists who study the theories that explain how the physical world behaves. In particular, they explore the properties of matter and energy. Physics is the study of the fundamental properties of matter, ranging from the microscopic world of subatomic and molecular particles, to the macroscopic world of cosmology and astrophysics. The two main types of physicists are experimental physicists or theoretical physicists. Experimental physicists work in laboratories to test the theories of physics, whereas theoretical physicists develop the theories to support the practical work. These two types of physicists often work together to form and test new scientific theories. There are a variety of interest areas within physics, and many areas which physicists may work in, such as environmental science, medical physics, teaching/lecturing, research, and cosmology or astrophysics (studying the planets, stars and other substances and bodies in the universe). Working conditions for physicists usually include laboratories, offices or classrooms. In terms of equipment, physicists may use computers to assist in computing theoretical ideas.
