Question

what's the difference between Physics and Biology?

Answer 1

Biology -- the study of living things -- would be meaningless if it did not take into account physics principles. And no science is independent of other sciences.

If, however, we want to compare what the main focus of biology is, versus the main focus of physics, then we can say that biology is the study of living things, while physics focuses on the dynamics of relationships between mass and energy in general.

It's impossible, actually, to study one science specialization in absence of commonalities that are shared by all science specializations. And physics pervades all the sciences. The study of chemistry, for example, could be called "physical chemistry" because it deals with the physics of interactions and relationships among chemicals as they interact.

Biology relies heavily upon physical interactions among chemicals, so it could be referred to as the study of the physics of living things.

Thus, there is not a distinct "difference" between one specialization in science and another but, rather, a difference in what aspects of the sciences are given greater or lesser attention in one branch or specialty as opposed to another. .
