It's the study of everything PHYSICAL. So, basically, no emotions, etc, but everything else.
Webster says it's "a science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions".

Physics is a science that is used to explain to us how we percieve reality. Made up with human defined laws (which can't be changed) and theories (which can't be proven or disproven). A human being can process an increadible amount of information every second (temperature, space, time, force), so physics was designed to explain this information, while first concentrating on one element at a time and later as system of elements. As good as physics has been to us, so far, there are negative effects as well. Our earlier ansestors had visions of spirituality and senses of things that cannot be explained. By introducing physics to more and more people through time we have painted a box around what's possible and excluded what's superantural. By doing this we are slowly killing our senses and programming ourselves to process information only in a way of "Physical" logic. However, I assure you that the possibilities are endless, and if we were to start everything all over again, we would have a completely different result.

Physics (from the Greek, ÏÏÏÎ¹Ï (phúsis), "nature" and ÏÏ Ïική (phusiké), "knowledge of nature") is the science concerned with the discovery and understanding of the fundamental laws which govern matter, energy, space and time. That is, physics deals with the elementary constituents of the Universe and their interactions, as well as the analysis of systems best understood in terms of these fundamental principles. Because physics treats the core workings of the universe, including the quantum mechanical details which underpin all atomic interactions, it can thought of as the foundational science, upon which stands the "central science" of chemistry, and the earth sciences, biological sciences, and social sciences. Discoveries in basic physics have important ramifications for all of science.

it's the study of space, time, and matter (in other words, all physical things).
