Answer 1

i love physics very very much. i just cant stop reading physics books, especially on quantum physics, relativistic physics and astronomy!!!

Answer 2

This is a good question.  What you are asking is why would anyone in her right mind want to be a physicist?  I am a physicist and here's what I find exciting.

We are delving into the nature of nature.  Where once we were satisfied with what, like F = ma, we are now looking at why F equals mass times acceleration.  More precisely, we are looking at why mass has inertia and resulting momentum, which gives us something we call a force when it changes over time.

We are delving into the fabric of space and time.  There is a lot of universe out there, and it's made of something expanding at an accelerating rate.  We are trying to uncover what that fabric of space and time is made of and why, of all kinds of possibilities, we were stuck with that fabric.

You, I, everthing is tugged on by gravity.  Newton's W = GmM/R^2 tells us what the force of gravity might be, but it fails to explain why gravity exists at all.  We are on the verge of finding out why there is gravity in the first place.

As to the scope, the universe is our scope.  How and, most recently, why everything in our universe (and others perhaps) works the way it does.  As you might imagine, there are almost an infinite number of ways mass and energy can be manifest...why did it come out the way it did in our universe is a major thrust of physics today.
