Physics



Physics (from Ancient Greek means “nature”) is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.

Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps, the oldest physics was a part of natural philosophy, chemistry, certain branches of mathematics, biology. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms in other sciences. Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies and in understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products, which have transformed modern society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, nuclear weapons, advances in thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization, and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.

Physics is used to understand the behavior of natural phenomena and proved that every event has a natural cause.

Natural science was developed in China, India and Islamic World between the fourth and tenth centuries BC. Experimental Physics had its debuts with experimentation by medieval physicists.

Classical Physics became a separate science when early modern Europeans used experimental methods to discover laws of physics.

Kepler, Galileo, Newton discover and unified the different laws of motion. Modern Physics started with the works of Einstein both in relativity and quantum physics.
