Description
The department of physics is the science that studies basic concepts such as energy, force and time, and everything that flows from this, such as mass, matter and their movement and, more broadly, the general analysis of nature, which aims to understand how the universe works. Physics attempts to understand natural phenomena and the forces and movement affecting their course, and to formulate knowledge in laws that not only explain previous processes, but also predict the course of natural processes with models that are slowly approaching reality.
