He’s technically wrong. Physics perfectly matches the definition of science.

Edited by HollowedWayfarer: 11/7/2019 6:20:50 PMPhysics is the study of the nature and the properties of matter and energy. Things like atomic structures, light, heat, gravity, etc. Just because it uses equations to calculate these things that doesn’t mean it’s full on math. And the example is just saying that it’s applied to physics, as in it’s being used.

The definition specifically marks it as applied mathematics. It's right there in parentheses.
