laravel Route get function

i'm new to laravel Framework, i have a basic knowlege in php oop, in the web.php inside the routes folder this code 

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/', function () {
    echo 'Hello!';
});

As far as i know that :: operator is used with static functions so i tried to find the find the static function "get" but i didn't found it.

Because the Laravel architecture is a little bit more complex than just using static classes. This is what we call Facades.

When you call Route::get(), the Route class will try to get the instance of the real route object and then call the get() method.

The class is this one:

/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Routing/Router.php

And the method:

/**
 * Register a new GET route with the router.
 *
 * @param  string  $uri
 * @param  \Closure|array|string|null  $action
 * @return \Illuminate\Routing\Route
 */
public function get($uri, $action = null)
{
    return $this->addRoute(['GET', 'HEAD'], $uri, $action);
}

To better understand Facades, please read:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/facades

https://www.sitepoint.com/how-laravel-facades-work-and-how-to-use-them-elsewhere/

The ServiceContainer is a another big player in this process, read about it too:

Route is a facade to non-static functions. Here's the Route::get() function: https://laravel.com/api/5.3/Illuminate/Routing/Router.html#method_get
