physics is a wrapper on energy and matter through time that's the definition.. Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.

What determines a good model? Compressibility of prediction. Heliocentric view of solar system not wrong, just much more complicated. Order and chaos differ in compressibility.

Gas laws are a good one. We don’t care about how individual molecules move, we just want to predict the outputs at our scales. Pv=nrt. Laws of physics are such because they are well-compressed predictors. Long version: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/12/observer-theory/
