(The following is a summary from ISBN: 978-0-19-975381-9)
Physics is the study of those natural phenomena that are successfully treatable with
well-specified and testable models.
- For example, physics treats atoms and simple molecules.
- Chemistry, on the other hand, deals with all molecules, most of whose electron distributions are too complex to be well-specified.
- A physicist might study a readily characterized biological system, but the functioning of a complex organism is the domain of biologists.
