What is Physics?

" Physics, the most fundamental physical science, is concerned with the basic principles of the Universe. It is the foundation upon which the other physical sciences - astronomy, chemistry, and geology - are based. The beauty of physics lies in the simplicity of the fundamental physical theories and in the manner in which just a small number of fundamental concepts, equations, and assumptions can alter and expand our view of the world around us."
R. A. Serway & J. W. Jewett, Jr., Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6th ed, 2004, p. 1
