Thermodynamics, as expressed by the zeroth through third laws. They seem so simple yet show up everywhere. Basically all of science ends up as physics, and all of physics ends up as thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics is such a beast because it’s basically undefeated. Every attempt to violate it has failed spectacularly (looking at you, perpetual motion machines). What’s wild is how it shows up literally everywhere - from black holes to chemical reactions to why your coffee gets cold. It’s like the final boss of physics that nothing can overcome.
