Physics is a science that studies the simplest and most general properties and laws of motion of objects in the material world.

The concepts of physics and its laws underlie all natural science.

The laws of physics are based on facts established empirically. They are strictly defined quantitative relationships and are formulated in mathematical language.

A distinction is made between experimental physics (experiments conducted to discover new facts and to test discovered physical laws) and theoretical physics, the purpose of which is to formulate general laws of nature and to explain specific phenomena based on these laws, as well as to predict new phenomena.
