1.1

"Physics is the science aimed at describing the fundamental aspects of our universe. This includes what things are in it, what properties of those things are noticeable, and what processes those things or their properties undergo." "Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, concerning itself with energy, matter, space and time, and their interactions." "Physics is the basis for all other sciences, such as chemistry, biology and geology, because physics describes the fundamental way in which the universe functions." "Physics is the foundation of many important scientific disciplines... Most branches of engineering are also applied physics."
