Physics and philosophy are interwoven. If one thinks of physics, one can find a lot of philosophy in every aspect of nature. I shall give some examples.
1) We know from physics that we are protected from the harmful sunrays by the ozone layer of atmosphere. If one has to find an answer, one has to leave physics and think philosophically.
2) Generally, density of a solid of the same material is higher than liquid. But, water is an exception to this. Ice is less dense than water for which physics gives an explanation. In fact, had it not been the case, all the living forms in sea water would have died burried by the solidifying water sinking to the bottom and burrying the life forms. One needs to think philosophically for this exception in nature for water.
3) Light while travelling through several mediums selects such a path that it takes the least time to go from one point to the other has been proved mathematically. Why does light which has no life decide such a path needs philosophy to investigate.

Thanks for your appreciation of my answer. Though I listed just 3 examples, there can be many such amazing examples sacttered all throughout science subjects.
