This categorization is just a starting point. There are many other ways to categorize science, and the boundaries between fields are constantly shifting. For example, some fields, like astrophysics, are considered to be both a physical science and an astronomy subfield.
It's important to remember that science is a vast and interconnected field, and these categories are simply ways to organize and understand its different aspects.
