This is a branch of the philosophy of physics, in which you happen to be treating the entire universe
--which is one huge physical object-- as a subject of study, rather than say studying just electrons by themselves, or studying only the solar system.
There are particular physical problems, problems of explanation, which arise in thinking about the entire universe, which don't arise when you consider
only its smaller systems. I see this as trying to articulate what those particular problems are, and what the avenues are for solving them, rather than
trying to translate from physics into some other language.
