# Physical Process A **physical process** is simply any *change* that occurs in the physical world, whether naturally occurring or artificially induced. It is not necessarily intentional or designed for a specific purpose. For instance, a tree falling is a physical process, but it is not a [Physical Experiment](Physical%20Experiment.md) unless someone deliberately makes it fall to observe something about it. --- Date: 20241218 Links to: Tags: References: * []()
