As everything is made of atoms, it is arguable that every science is essentially a child of physics as physics is based on the most elementary particles, using the most elementary form of analysis, mathematics. This can be depicted in a hierarchical sense ('''Figure 1''') the further down the hierarchy you move the more complex and multifaceted the science becomes. For instance a mathematical proof of the Higgs Boson is provable by mathematics, whereas in social sciences because their are so many interlaced factors it is more difficult to get to the absolute root cause. |
