Philosophy is a search for wisdom and an attempt at understanding the meaning of life.

Physics is also a search for meaning and understanding, not of the "spiritual" world, but of the quantum one.

Why does light act as a particle and a wave?

Why do we think what we think?

Philosophy and science used to be considered part of the same discipline, but when religion and science split, philsophy was still stuck in the middle with no-where to go.

It might be a bit heavy, but I think looking at how historically the two fitted together and how physicist today are quite the bunch of "particle" philosophers might be interesting.
