ธรรมชาติ(NATURE)

     "  Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world,
     or material world. "Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also  
     to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

     The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate
      disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth". Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek
     word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals,
     and other features of the world develop of their own accord.The concept of nature as a whole,
    the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core
    applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since.
    This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.

    Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" may refer to the general realm of various types of
    living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way
    that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology
    of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean
    the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things
    that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention.
    For, example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature,
    unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of
    natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial,
    with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or
    a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from
     the unnatural, the supernatural, and the artifactual."
