For the term "physics"
1) The basic language of nature.
2) The queen of the natural sciences ( Note : basically, like mathematics,
physics donates to, but doesn't borrow from, other natural sciences.)
3) The study of motion.
Question : could one infer from the above definition, "the study of motion,"
that the definition of "metaphysics" is the "study of nonmotion," borrowing
from the medieval concept of the primuum mobile ( the unmoved mover)?
@Carl J Mesaros,
Physics is the science of an assumed "objective world" in terms of the basic classification "matter" and "energy" and their sub-aspects.
Metaphysics is a set of philosophical positions which attempt to transcend the limits of that assumption.
