[See {Physic}.]
The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of
science which treats of the laws and properties of matter,
and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of
natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation,
heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc.) that modify the
general properties of bodies; natural philosophy.
Note: Chemistry, though a branch of general physics, is
commonly treated as a science by itself, and the
application of physical principles which it involves
constitute a branch called chemical physics, which
treats more especially of those physical properties of
matter which are used by chemists in defining and
distinguishing substances.
