### [New to Thrive?](https://enrol.global.scotch.wa.edu.au/form/thriveapplication-new/)

## Our Scotch Global Thrive Physics course explains the wonders of the universe through the rigour of scientific reasoning and abstract mathematics. Standing on the shoulders of giants such as Newton, Einstein, Planck, and Hawking, we can explore the world through a new and evolving lens.

##

By first learning the fundamental principles that govern the universe and then questioning where science might take us into the future we can better understand the physical world around us. A deep dive into areas including mechanics, optics, acoustics, wave theory, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and nuclear physics will exponentially expand your universe and provide you with the knowledge you need to keep in touch with the future.
