Physics is one of the main forces behind everything that happens in the world. The color of the sky, the stars, the atoms in our bodies and the light we see by - it's all part of physics, a huge system of behavior for the universe. How much of these universal secrets do you already know?
If you traveled from the Earth in a spaceship at speeds close to light speed, and returned after some years. You would find that...
The Earth did not change at all.
You have returned to the past, several years before you left.
You would not be able to go back, the Earth won't be there any more.
You have returned to find many more years have passed.

Steven is standing on Mars holding an amount of gold that weight one pound. Lisa is holding an amount of gold that weighs one pound on Earth. All things being equal, which of them holds more gold?
Steven holds more because gravity is weaker on Mars and so to get to a pound you need a bigger amount than you'd need on Earth, where gold is heavier.
What does E = mc2, the famous equation by Einstein, actually mean?
Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
Electrical force equals mass times the speed of light squared.
Energy equals movement times the speed of light squared.
Electrical force equals momentum times the speed of light squared.

What creates a sonic boom?
Tidbit: A sonic boom cannot be heard by the pilot, because it's already behind the plane and the sound cannot catch up.
When an object goes through the air faster than the speed of sound
When a bomb explodes so strongly the sound waves cause devastation
