How is metaphysical defined, and does it border normal physics in any regard?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
No metaphysics is not physics. It falls under the philosophy umbrella and we don’t discuss philosophical things on PF.

You can read more about it on wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics

with that said, we will now close this thread.
