What is Theoretical Physics and How Can It Be Discussed Without Math?

In summary, theoretical physics is the study of the fundamental laws and principles that govern the natural world, using mathematical models and theories. It seeks to understand the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest and largest scales, from subatomic particles to the entire universe. While math is an essential tool in theoretical physics, it can also be discussed and explored through conceptual and visual means, such as thought experiments and diagrams. This allows for a deeper understanding and communication of complex ideas without relying solely on mathematical equations.

Physics is one of my most favorite topics, particularly Theoretical Physics. I have no formal education in Physics but I read quite a bit Physics material and also some Physics books. I have B.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering. I like to discuss advanced physics ideas logically and verbally, in non-mathematical manner. A little more about me can be found in this link:
