"A physicist is
a scientist who
specializes in the field of physics,
which encompasses the interactions of matter
and energy at all length and time scales in
the physical universe. Physicists
generally are interested in the root or
ultimate causes of phenomena,
and usually frame their understanding in
mathematical terms. They work across a wide
range of research
fields,
spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic and particle
physics,
through biological
physics,
to cosmological length
scales encompassing the universe as
a whole. The field generally includes two
types of physicists: experimental
physicists who
specialize in the observation of natural
phenomena and the development and analysis
of experiments, and theoretical
physicists who
specialize in mathematical modeling of
physical systems to rationalize, explain and
predict natural phenomena" Source
