Physics. The goal of physics is to discover and formulate the principles and laws that govern the material universe and explain the diversified faces of the physical phenomena. It studies the structure of matter and the interactions between the basic elements of the observable universe, from the smallest sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons, quarks, leptons and mesons), to the largest galaxies, and the nature and origin of energy and the gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear fields (C. Zins, 2011).

Rationale
Branches. Physics is traditionally divided into classical physics and modern physics. The two divisions overlap. Classical physics traditionally includes the fields of mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, acoustics, and thermodynamics. Modern physics includes fields related to quantum theory, among them quantum mechanics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, and condensed matter physics (C. Zins, 2011).
