[A whole culture of omega level mutants. How wonderfully terrifying.]

That's a beautiful talent you have, and clever problem solving, too. Absolutely enthralling stuff to a physicist, since you asked. That's the study of nature, how and why things happen-- why running water can create canyons, or hold its tension to balance on a leaf. Why different forces-- your chi, maybe, or gravity, or friction, act the way they do, and how they act on each other. So particle physics focuses on the building blocks of nature. If a cloud is made of small drops, what are those small drops made of? And are those tiny parts made of something even smaller? And can that question be asked infinitely, or is everything made of the same impossibly small element, and if so...why did some of it decide to be the cloud, or a sunflower, or you? Why can you pull water together, but not air?

Isn't that fantastic?
