Physics
Physics is the study of matter and its motion through space and time, energy and force. It is a fundamental science because its laws and theories play an important role in other sciences. Physicists explore the connection between the most fundamental aspects of the natural world and the universe and develop explanations for these phenomena. Because of this, physics is an integral part in the development of new technology and the basis of engineering.
