Abstract

Science or Physics had its beginnings in some remote era when people began to show curiosity concerning their environment and to record what they saw. In due course of time, reflections on these observations led to the idea that nature is knowable and dependable and that as a result predictions could be made which would give man a certain degree of control over his environment. This article highlights the significant developments of science or specifically Physics since the onset of meaningful civilization. This article will summarize the evolution of Physics from its infancy and look at the contributions of different scientists who have made this journey possible to the present state of existence.
