The science of the behavior of the physical world. Stemming from the Greek "physis," which means the characteristics of nature, physics covers the structure of matter (atoms, particles, etc.) and a huge variety of subjects, including chemical bonding, gravity, space, time, electromagnetism, electromagnetic radiation, the theory of relativity, thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
