Physics Enthusiast

Hello everyone, my name is Puhpender! As a student studying in DP1, I have always been fascinated by the fields of physics and psychology. These two fields may seem very different, but they are both integral to understanding the world around us and ourselves. In my talk, I will explore how the principles of resonance on physics can be applies to the human mind and behaviour. For me, this speech is more than just an opportunity to share my knowledge with others. It is a chance to inspire others to think outside the box and to consider the possibilities of combining seemingly unrelated fields of study. I hope my talk will encourage people to continue exploring new ideas and concepts, and to never be afraid to challenge traditional ways of thinking, I am honoured to be a part of this year's TEDx event and cannot wait to share my passion with all of you!
