Physics is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the fundamental laws which
govern matter, energy, space and time.
That is, physics deals with the elementary constituents of the Universe and their interactions,
as well as the analysis of systems which are best understood in terms of these
fundamental principles. |
Physics is a study of the inorganic, physical world, as
opposed to the organic world of biology, physiology,
etc. Chemistry concerning the electro-chemical interactions of substances overlaps with physics
Physics attempts to describe the natural world by the
application of the scientific
method, including modelling by theoreticians.
Formerly, physics included the study of natural
philosophy, its counterpart which had been called "physics"
(earlier physike) from classical times up to the separation of physics
from philosophy as a positive
science in the 19th
century, as the study of the changing world by philosophy. Mixed questions,
of which solutions can be attempted through the applications of both disciplines
(for example the divisibility of the atom)
can involve natural philosophy in physics (the science)
and vice versa . Physics -
