    Physics: Physikḗ (Epistḗmē)

    Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and related concepts like energy and force. It aims to understand how the universe behaves. Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and includes astronomy. Advances in physics often enable new technologies - for example, understanding electromagnetism led to television and computers while advances in mechanics inspired calculus. Physics intersects with many other areas of research and the boundaries are not rigidly defined.

    Physics

    Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη),


    romanized: physikḗ (epistḗmē), lit. 'knowledge of nature',
    from φύσις phýsis 'nature')[1][2][3] is the natural science
    that studies matter,[a] its motion and behavior through
    space and time, and the related entities of energy and
    force.[5] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific
    disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the
    universe behaves.[b][6][7][8]

    Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines and,


    through its inclusion of astronomy, perhaps the oldest.[9]
    Over much of the past two millennia, physics, chemistry,
    biology, and certain branches of mathematics were a part Various examples of physical phenomena
    of natural philosophy, but during the Scientific
    Revolution in the 17th century these natural sciences
    emerged as unique research endeavors in their own right.[c] Physics intersects with many
    interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum chemistry, and the boundaries of
    physics are not rigidly defined. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms studied
    by other sciences[6] and suggest new avenues of research in academic disciplines such as mathematics
    and philosophy.

    Advances in physics often enable advances in new technologies. For example, advances in the
    understanding of electromagnetism, solid-state physics, and nuclear physics led directly to the
    development of new products that have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as
    television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear weapons;[6] advances in thermodynamics led to
    the development of industrialization; and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.
