Common definition

Physics (from the neutral Latin plural physica), in turn deriving from the Greek τὰ φυσικά [tà physiká], or "natural things", and from φύσις [physis], "nature" is the science of nature in the broadest sense. The purpose of physics is the study of natural phenomena, that is, of all the events that can be described or quantified through appropriate physical quantities, in order to establish principles and laws that regulate the interactions between the quantities themselves and account for their reciprocal variations. This objective is sometimes achieved through the provision of a simplified scheme, or model, of the described phenomenon. The set of principles and physical laws relating to a certain class of observed phenomena define a deductive theory, coherent and relatively self-consistent, typically built starting from experimental induction.
