Physics is the natural science that investigates the fundamental phenomena of the physical world and deals in particular with matter and energy and their interactions in space and time. Classical physics is limited to those areas in which the peculiarities of quantum mechanics and theory of relativity, which characterise modern physics, can be neglected.

Rudolf Steiner made significant contributions to a deeper understanding of the spiritual-scientific background of physics in the so-called Light Course (CW 320) and the Warmth Course (CW 321), which he held for the prospective teachers of the Waldorf school founded in Stuttgart in 1919. Thereby he oriented himself to Goethe's scientific method and the Goetheanism based on it, which rejects the idea of an abstract law behind natural phenomena and instead seeks to be a "rational description of nature."
