| − | '''Physics''' is the study of the interactions of matter and energy <ref>http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=physics</ref>, and is the science that deals with the laws of [[God|God's]] universe. [[Galileo]] was the first to discover and propose some of the fundamental laws of physics that we still use today. He began by studying how a ball rolled down an incline and showed that its speed would be proportional to the height it started at. A scientist who studies ''physics'' is called a [[physicist]]. | + | '''Physics''' is the study of the interactions of matter and energy <ref>http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=physics</ref>, and is the science that deals with the laws of <s>[[God|God's]]</s> the universe.

The most famous of which, the law of gravity, was published in his notoriously difficult book entitled Principia, partly responsible for making him one of the most admired and famous scientists of all time. | | [[Isaac Newton|Newton]] devised many theories still commonly used in the branch of mechanics.
