Outline of physical science

Physics – branch of science that studies matter[4] and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.

Some of the basic pursuits of physics, which include some of the most prominent developments in modern science in the last millennium, include: Astronomy – science of celestial bodies and their interactions in space.

Its studies include the following: (Note: Astronomy should not be confused with astrology, which assumes[10][11][12] that people's destiny and human affairs in general correlate to the apparent positions of astronomical objects in the sky – although the two fields share a common origin, they are quite different; astronomers embrace the scientific method, while astrologers do not.)

Chemistry – branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter.

Preparation and properties of complex substances, such as alloys, polymers, biological molecules, and pharmaceutical agents are considered in specialized fields of chemistry.
