Physicists look at the things around us and they too have divisions amongst them.

There are solid state physics people who deliver you the wonderful materials - most common example of which are the semi-conductors, your source of electronics. World of solid state and electronics is as diverse as chemistry. Except for one thing - we are using still smaller things as compared to what we were doing in chemistry.

And we have still smaller things - atoms themselves. Spectroscopy people deal with them and come out with the wonders like lasers. This is a fascinating world in itself.

And then we have still more curious people - the people of nuclear physics. They focus their attention on even smaller things - the nucleus of atom. If you really want numbers than a nucleus is about ten thousand times smaller as compared to the atom. If you want to make a comparison then remember to see the cells in biology a magnification of hundred times is sufficient.

And here your high school science should be getting stretched to its limits but you must still be firmly in the driving seat. Lord willing the rest of the journey should be as smooth. But do not forget the wonderful things arranged by Allah (SWT) at the level of atomic nucleus. We mean the nuclear energy, atom bomb as well as nuclear medicine. Please try to take off your attention from destruction caused by atom and hydrogen bombs. For the time being just admire the amount of energy kept by Allah (SWT) in the smallest place.

And thy gaze returns to you, dazzled, a weary.

Truly wonderful is Allah (SWT)'s creation.
