:::Well, right now I don't like how it's simply broken down into operational science and origins science. The only thing I can think of is maybe giving a brief introduction into each of the stated sciences (astronomy, physics, chemistry), and including the links to the appropriate places. Other than that I couldn't think of too much to add - it's such a broad field I don't know how much detail we should add. [[User:ATang|ATang]] 11:28, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

::::The reason it deserves a re-write is that it has a ton of extraneous information (I'm just looking at the first few paragraphs; it'd be dangerous to change anything below that). If you follow a logical organization, then "physical sciences" are an implementation or subset of "science" (to use computer science terms). It should inherit any characteristic of science, so it is redundant to point out that physical sciences use the "scientific method." Really, the page should exist as nothing more than a note that physical sciences are those subsets of science that deal with non-living systems; any other information without extrapolating on that idea specifically is irrelevant. I guess i'll just add it to my list of stuff to fix, even though I only ever get 30 non-consecutive minutes or so per day to fix them. [[User:Stryker|Stryker]] 11:37, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
