I am struggling to spot the charity in all your condescension.

metaphysics /ˌmɛtəˈfɪzɪks/ noun the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.

First principles? Like logical/mathematical axioms? Sprinkle abstraction. Identity? f(x) = x ?

Time? Space? Spacetime? Minkowsky space?

On a fuzzy-match that sounds ludicrously similar to the sort of stuff the formal sciences concern themselves with. Almost as if the distinction between science and philosophy is non-existence given the demarcation problem.
