When you can define what "physical" means, then we can talk about your question.

You know, the study of physical stuff, things physically occurring. That stuff." "Sure, I'm an expert on biology. Biology is the study of, you know, biological stuff, how things work biologically." "I'm deeply intuitive about cosmology, which is the study of cosmological things, and those are things in, you know, the cosmos." "Yeah, I know all about that geological stuff, which is what geology studies. You know... geoles and things." nyuk, nyuk. PD
