Physical science is the branch of science including chemistry
and physics, and sometimes contrasted with natural or biological science.
Physical science includes the sub-branches of aerodynamics, astronomy and astrophysics,
classical mechanics, civil engineering, electrical
engineering, energy, geography,
mechanical engineering, physical chemistry, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics,
quantum mechanics. Sometimes mathematics is also included, though more commonly it is considered a separate science or theoretical practice.
There also exist fields such as biomechanics, biochemistry, and genetics, which span the gap between the
physical and biological sciences.
