Model of scientific framework
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
-Carl Sagan
This article is not a technical
account. This is an attempt to understand the fundamental sciences (Physical
science, chemical science, and biological science) as models of different ideas
and concepts. As this is an amateur (lay) approach to these concepts any ideas
or thoughts might need to be better formalized.
This is also a continuation of
the "Model theory" (click here, click here) whose main objective is to understand
how we think and understand things.
This is divided into four parts.
A minuscule introduction to all the parts is provided in this blog. A detailed
explanation of each piece will be dealt with at a later time.
Part - 1: Physical science
Physical science in short is the
study of the fundamental ideas of non-living things. If forms the basis of all
other sciences. most of the physical science is based on the mathematical
formulation and the physical certainty of things around us. It broadly involves
the study of the universe through cosmology, the study of atoms by quantum
mechanics, the study of moving bodies by classical mechanics, the study of an
ensemble of particles by statistical mechanics, the study of energy through
thermodynamics, the study of subatomic particles by electrodynamics and so on.
Almost everything in science can be understood through the basis and approaches
of physical science.
Part - 2: Chemical science
Chemical science is the study of
materials and their properties thus it gives a good understanding of the
material universe. It uses the concepts of physical science to understand how
materials combine, how they exist, and how they are formed and modified. In a
very broad view, they have three different branches; Organic chemistry - deals
with the study of compounds that are mostly made up of carbon and hydrogen as a
base otherwise an organic compound. ; Physical chemistry - deals with the study
of chemical systems with the help of the concepts of physics (A specific study
of chemical systems using physics). ; Inorganic chemistry - deals with the
study of all other
chemical species that don't have
a carbon-hydrogen compound. Thus chemical science deals with the
composition of substances and their properties and reactions.
Part - 3: Biological
science
Biological science is a bit complex field to understand. it's like a living being studying a living being. In a formal way, it is the study of life. It has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, it is a coherent field. It is a complex blend of the above two parts and other significant small parts. Medicine is one of the most important applications of biological science. Chemically it is the atoms, molecules, water, organic compounds, and macromolecules; signaling, Inheritance, development, and self-sustaining. We can always apply any science we discover to study life. It is difficult to give a short technical overview of biological science. In a codified manner, it is the study of us.
Part 4: Model of system
The above parts can be combined
and put under the same roof which is generally call them as natural science
which is the study of everything around us. As scientifically sound, we are
able to combine them all into a single system and understand things in a
related way. Mostly this model of system can be a base for engineering
like mechanical, civil, biotechnology, chemical, electrical, electronics, etc.
This model of system is not a constant
system it is a feedback system
so as far as we know the physical world exists because the system flows in and
out of itself. The way of thinking and understanding it is a task that should
be provided with time, thought, and information from which we can have an
emergence.
This is inspired by the work of Barbara Minto (Pyramid Principle), N. Seshagiri, Richard Feynman, Henri Bergson (Matter and Memory), and others.
This is an open problem to think about and analyze. My views and thoughts will be shared at a later time after getting some experience.
HOPE YOU LEARNT A NEW THING AND CHANGE THE WAY OF LOOKING AROUND YOU.
