  Physical science Summary
Physical science is an encompassing term for the branches of natural science, and science (generally), that study non-living systems, in contrast to the biological sciences.
Natural sciences generally, and physical sciences particularly, tend to be more reductionist sciences, in contrast to the more holistic social sciences; i.e., physical science tends to explain the whole system from the system's fundamental parts, whereas social science tends to explain the whole system as more than the mere sum of its fundamental parts.
Physics is the science of nature in the broadest sense, dealing with the fundamentals of matter, energy, and the forces of nature governing the interactions between particles (such as molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles).

 Unacknowledged convergence of open source, open access, and open science
He speaks of a needed balance between the Republic of Science and the Realm of (proprietary) Technology, a balance which open source and open access advocates are trying to sustain, as they turn to the market economy for their laptop and the desk they are working at [47].
Academic labor within open science would also help answer his further question: "Is it possible to build a working economic system around the core notions of property rights as distribution?" [64].
This brings me back to David’s defense of open science as constituting a "public/academic research sector" which is "uniquely well suited to the goal of maximizing the rate of growth of the stock of reliable knowledge" [66].

At the same time, studying science was not thought to threaten the traditional virtues of a lady....the cardinal virtues of ladies--modesty and religious reverence--were thought to be promoted by the study of natural philosophy.
Furthermore, science at this time was by and large a leisure activity, and for that reason was seen as an appropriate pastime for gentlemen and women....Though often addressed to women, Cavendish's natural philosophy was not written as a simplification...for the 'weaker sex.' Rather she participated in discussions central to her life and times...."
