Fysikoita is a term used to describe a group of Finnish physicists who become celebrities due to their participation in a popular science program on the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle). The program, which has been on the air since 2006, tests contestants' knowledge of physics and other scientific subjects in a competition setting.

Contestants on the program, known as fysikoita, are typically amateur physicists who have achieved a high level of expertise in their field. They are often working professionals or students who have a passion for physics and mathematics. Throughout the program, the fysikoita are presented with complex scientific problems and puzzles, which they must solve using their knowledge of physics and other scientific disciplines.

The term fysikoita has become synonymous with a group of Finnish intellectuals who are esteemed for their scientific knowledge and expertise. The term has also been used to describe a broader cultural phenomenon in which physicists and other scientists have become celebrities in Finnish society.

Fysikoita have been praised for their brains, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They have also been credited with inspiring a new generation of young people to pursue careers in science and technology. The program has been widely popular in Finland, attracting a large and dedicated audience.

The success of the program and the phenomenon of fysikoita has led to various spin-offs, including books, documentaries, and other forms of media. The term has also been used to describe similar programs and events in other countries, highlighting the global appeal of science and physics as a cultural phenomenon.
