The term "physics" is deriven from the Greek word "physikos" which means "of nature." Physics is the study of nature in its essential form and its goal is to explain as much of the world as possible in the most concise and accurate manner, as the ancient Greeks attempted in such theories as the four fundamental substances that they believed comprised the universe—earth, air, water, and fire.
