 Yes...I would disagree on the physics part.....the more you know, the 
simpler things get.  You finish high school understand some bizarre concept 
about magnetic and electric fields....undergraduates like more and the 
picture simplifies to 4 equation (maxwells) with explains electromagnetism ( 
by far the greatest forces we humans deal with...touch, sight and most other 
phenomena).  Graduates then take into account special relativity, and these 4 
equation become ONE single equation.  It absolutely amazing....this equation 
has so much predictive and explanatory power.  Beyond this, I start talking 
from a qualitative understanding.  QED combines quantum mechanics into the 
picture and the electro-weak force unifies more of the worlds phenomena under 
a single explanatory scheme.  Physics is the ONLY human endeavor, where a 
single human can learn all there is to know (in a general sense) about the 
universe (limited by our state of knowledge, which is not bad at all).
