lots of Greek words were borowed into other languages. So, 'physike' in Greek should, probably means a lot of things apart from the science, eh?
So, in 'ingredients' section of a pac with green olives they have:
gr. 'physike piperia' (I use transliteration here)
en 'pepper Physics'
fl 'le poivre physique' (the physical pepper?)
ger. Pfeffer Physik
ru перец физики (pepper of Physics).

This one can hardly beat 'междупланетная связь' (misspelled 'interplanetary communication', that was later corrected into 'межпланетная связь' which is the same in correct Russian- here they advertized cheap calls to Russia from China) but it's more productive (in the sense of different languages) than recent
|men --------women
человек - женщина| (i.e. human --- woman) which my friend observed in Montenegro on a WC a few days ago...
It proved to be tasty, though I knew it. Nice thing to feed the curvy shapes of Mahtematics since Archimedes.
Βασιλική, thanks. A question was implied, but if learned Greek indeed (I hope I will learn it in future, I have more than one reason to do it), I'd probably find the answer. So I didn't ask it directly
I tried to think in this direction, but since I don't understand, what the 'natural pepper' is.... It maked a little sense.
A 'plain statement' was that.. well, we all notice funny mistranslations on various imported/exported goods. I don't collect such mistakes, but i like them. What I haven't seen before, is the ones that came from a language like Greek (a major source of scienific/religious borrowings). 3 different but funny and meaningful results for 3 of different languages....
And 'pepper of physics' could serve as a name for a Nobel-prize lecture.
I couldn't tell if you were asking or plainly stating but "physike" or φυσική is the female version of the adjective φυσικός which means natural or to do woth nature/natural things. Thus Φυσική, the study of natural things and φυσική πιπεριά, natural pepper.
