The Material World

The Material World refers to everything that has physical form and substance, including objects, substances, and energy we can perceive with our senses or measure with tools. It encompasses all matter—like planets, plants, animals, and human-made items—and forms the basis of our universe. The material world operates according to natural laws, such as gravity and thermodynamics, which govern how things move and change. Understanding the material world helps us grasp how the universe functions and how various forms of matter interact, forming the reality we experience daily.
