物理科学

物质科学或物理科学（英语：Physical science）是自然科学的分支，研究没有生命的系统，与生命科学相对。但是“物理的(physical)”这个形容词对两者所造成的差别，是无意的而且有点随意，因为物质科学之下的某些分支也会研究生物的现象，如生物化学、生物物理，是物理科学与生命科学的交叉学科。

物理科学是什么？

物质科学的形容如下：

科学的一个分支：透过对宇宙作出可试验的解释和预测，有系统地不断尝试建立和组织知识^[1]^[2]^[3]。
- 自然科学的一个分支：自然科学是科学的一个重大分支，凭着经验证据，试图解释和预测大自然的现象。在自然科学，假说一定要先科学地确证，才可当作科学理论。有效性、准确性、和确保品质的社会机制，例如同行评审和结果的可重复性，是达到目的所用的其中一些准则和方法。自然科学可以分成两大分支：生命科学和物质科学。这两个分支、及其下的所有分支，都被称为自然科学。
