There are some amazing things you can do with physics. It explains the reasoning behind every earthly phenomena from gravity to microwaves. Even simple physics can be incredible, and I wish I still remembered all that I learned back in eleventh grade. This video shows a seemingly "simple" experiment: pouring sand on a table and then vibrating that table with sound waves at certain frequencies will produce these interesting, kaleidoscope-like designs. I do wish, however, that someone "creative" would take these shapes and make a more innovative video or art display.
Being surrounded with creative people and creative assignments all the time sometimes makes me feel like I am losing any mathematical ability I once had. I think having some understanding of things like physics always comes in handy for creative stuff because physics contains the laws which make construction, sculpting, and design possible. Sometimes I think specializing in one area forces you give up maintaining a vast knowledge of other subjects. Not that I was a brainiac in physics, but I wish I had managed to retain some of that information!
