What is meta physics? Please explain it to me in simple.?

Metaphysic is a branch of speculative philosophy concerned with explaining the world. A central branch of metaphysics is ontology, the investigation into what categories of things are in the world and what relations these things bear to one another. The metaphysician also attempts to clarify the notions by which people understand the world, including existence, objecthood, property, space, time, causality, and possibility.

A Grand Unified Theory of Everything cannot be explained in such fashion. I would recommend reading "Hyperspace" by Michio Kaku.

Very simply put, string theory (now most often called "M" theory) is an attempt to unite quantum physics with relativity; we hope that by doing so we can develop a set of equations that will tie together the four fundamental forces of nature. The direct relationship of three of those forces have been linked, but gravity so far remains the "outsider."

Physics\nI  INTRODUCTION \n\nPhysics, major science, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces. Sometimes in modern physics a more sophisticated approach is taken that incorporates elements of the three areas listed above; it relates to the laws of symmetry and conservation, such as those pertaining to energy, momentum, charge, and parity. See Atom; Energy.\n\nSee also separate articles on the different aspects of physics and the various sciences mentioned in this article.\n\nII  SCOPE OF PHYSICS \n\nPhysics is closely related to the other natural sciences and, in a sense, encompasses them. Chemistry, for example, deals with the interaction of atoms to form molecules; much of modern geology is largely a study of the physics of the earth and is known as geophysics; and astronomy deals with the physics of the stars and outer space. Even living systems are made up of fundamental particles and, as studied in biophysics and biochemistry, they follow the same types of laws as the simpler particles traditionally studied by a physicist.\n\nThe emphasis on the interaction between particles in modern physics, known as the microscopic approach, must often be supplemented by a macroscopic approach that deals with larger elements or systems of particles. This macroscopic approach is indispensable to the application of physics to much of modern technology. Thermodynamics, for example, a branch of physics developed during the 19th century, deals with the elucidation and measurement of properties of a system as a whole and remains useful in other fields of physics; it also forms the basis of much of chemical and mechanical engineering. Such properties as the temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas have no meaning for an individual atom or molecule; these thermodynamic concepts can only be applied directly to a very large system of such particles. A bridge exists, however, between the microscopic and macroscopic approach; another branch of physics, known as statistical mechanics, indicates how pressure and temperature can be related to the motion of atoms and molecules on a statistical basis (see Statistics).\n\nPhysics emerged as a separate science only in the early 19th century; until that time a physicist was often also a mathematician, philosopher, chemist, biologist, engineer, or even primarily a political leader or artist. Today the field has grown to such an extent that with few exceptions modern physicists have to limit their attention to one or two branches of the science. Once the fundamental aspects of a new field are discovered and understood, they become the domain of engineers and other applied scientists. The 19th-century discoveries in electricity and magnetism, for example, are now the province of electrical and communication engineers; the properties of matter discovered at the beginning of the 20th century have been applied in electronics; and the discoveries of nuclear physics, most of them not yet 40 years old, have passed into the hands of nuclear engineers for applications to peaceful or military uses.\n\nIII  EARLY HISTORY OF PHYSICS \n\nAlthough ideas about the physical world date from antiquity, physics did not emerge as a well-defined field of study until early in the 19th century.\n\nA  Antiquity \n\nThe Babylonians, Egyptians, and early Mesoamericans observed the motions of the planets and succeeded in predicting eclipses, but they failed to find an underlying system governing planetary motion. Little was added by the Greek civilization, partly because the uncritical acceptance of the ideas of the major philosophers Plato and Aristotle discouraged experimentation.\n\nSome progress was made, however, notably in Alexandria, the scientific center of Greek civilization. There, the Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes designed various practical mechanical devices, such as levers and screws, and measured the density

No one knows exactly.  It's interchangeable with matter, but no one knows exactly what matter is either.  We can describe properties of matter and energy with reference to each other, but we can't really objectively understand what they are.

Giancoli covers it pretty well.  I don't know how deep you want to go though... IB standard and higher level physics use it, though it's a 1st year university text.

Well, it is too complicted to explain in simple words, Here is a simplified version of the String theory-\nhttp://www.superstringtheory.com/basics/basic4.html\n\nI think you should read the Wikipedia articles about the String theory. Here they are-\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory_(simplified)\n\nBut, if you want this topic to be explained thoroughly, see the "official website" on string theory-\n\nhttp://www.superstringtheory.com/basics/index.html

Wow... there are some really bad answers here.  LOL...\n\nAnyway, the term "meta" is used in the programming word to mean the language that describes a thing or language.  The best way to understand this is to hear examples.  \n\n(1) When you rip MP3 songs to your hard drive from a CD, you write the title and artist into those files.  That is called METAdata.  The METAdata describes the contents of the file.\n\n(2) When it comes to HTML, you can create META tags that describe the contents of that HTML doc.  The META tags describe the contents of that HTML file.\n\n(3) In a database server, we can create tables, stored procedures, functions and other things.  When we create these objects, we can use METAlanguage to describe the use, and purpose of these objects.\n\n(4) When programming in MS .Net, we can create METAlanguage in the code that describes what the code is doing.\n\nBasically, whenever you see "meta" if generally means that something is describing something.  In your case you are asking, "what is the meta language" and I guess the most accurate answer would rely on which language you were trying to describe.  Is it HTML?  Is it Flash Actionscript?  Javascript?  In most programming languages, meta language can be synonymous with comments.  Hope this helps.

actually, physicists are still looking for the law of everything that connects the different theories of things and stuff.  String theory is pretty interesting although it doesnt provide definitive answers, it gets closer.  You seem interested in this stuff, you should read "The Elegent Universe" by Brian Greene.  It will explain a lot and help with your understanding.  Be warned though, you might find it too interesting and get too curious like me and end up being a physics major just to get some questions answered, and more do get answered the farther you go in physics haha. Read that book though, it will blow your mind.

OK, this is the Physics section, but your question is more a philosophical one, so let me try to answer in a philosophical way. Every time we speak about "the universe" we are easily engulfed into paradoxes, because the subject itself is ill-defined. You can't apply to the whole universe concepts and procedures that are defined and thus applicable only *inside* it. Like "measure", "big" and "small".\nAs the great Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges once wrote, "There is no classification of the universe not being arbitrary and conjectural. The reason is that we do not know what the universe is".
