Physics

Line 1:

'''Physics''' is the study of material reality: matter, energy, space, time, and the interactions that bind them. Within the [[Continuum Universes]], physics is not treated as an absolute or isolated truth, but as a **local rule-set**—a structured expression of deeper [[Universal Law]] shaped by cosmological context.

Physics defines what is *normally possible* within a given universe. Metaphysics defines why those possibilities exist at all.

Technological limits are not moral or cultural—they are **physical ceilings** imposed by the universe itself.

Line 73:

In science fantasy universes, physics and [[Magic]] coexist.

Magic does not replace physics—it **overrides local constraints through metaphysical authorization**. Where physics resists change through energy cost, magic negotiates change through alignment.

Both systems obey limits. Both can fail. Neither is supreme.

Line 92:

Reality is lawful—but the laws themselves are chosen, inherited, or imposed.

To study physics is to understand **how a universe behaves**.

To study metaphysics is to understand **why that behavior is allowed**.
