What is Physics?
The word "physics" has its roots in the words in Greek meaning "natural" and "nature". It is the science of how everything "natural" works. For example, it can be the science that explains why things move. Everything in the universe have to obey the laws of physics. Physics is almost always intertwined with mathematics, because for physics to be calculated, there have to be lots of mathematical formulas, equations, etc.
The most dominant fields in physics include astrophysics (physics in "space"), particle physics (study of particles such as electrons, quarks, etc.), atomic/molecular physics, and condensed matter physics. Physics is also tied very closely to many different sciences such as astronomy.

The Greeks contributed alot in physics. Well, it become sa question to ask what physics really is. It might be the law for any action in space, but it might be all a part of our imagination, or could only be observed by humans. Just like color, does the value color really exist, or does it only exist in the state of midn of humans? So does physics apply to us all? We may never know. :-)
