Physics (from, from phúsis "nature") is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion and behavior through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.

One of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, the main goal of physics is to understand how the universe behaves.

The Universe is all of time and space and its contents.

It includes planets, moons, minor planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, and all matter and energy.

The size of the entire Universe is unknown.

The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.

To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry is commonly based on empirical or measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.

The Oxford Dictionaries Online define the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses".

Experiments need to be designed to test hypotheses.

The most important part of the scientific method is the experiment.
