Building a foundation, starting with physics

When you break it down, all sciences are derived from physics.
Think about it, psychology is the biology of the brain. Biology
is just the study of biochemical reactions. Biochemistry(or
organic chemistry) is simply complex chemical reactions.
Chemistry is just molecular physics summed up into a table(The
periodic table). Finally, molecular physics is defined by the
weak nuclear force of the fundamental forces of physics. Even
the four fundamental forces of physics can be broken down into
one Grand Unified Theory of Physics. Basically, the universe can
be defined by a few basic principles.
This is why I have a new approach at understanding any field of
research. To study a specific field we must break it down into
its components. If I wanted to pursue research in the field of
biology, I would first grasp a significant understanding of
physics. Once I had a firm grasp on physics I would study
chemistry and then organic chemistry. Only when I had a firm
understanding of these gateway sciences would I start to study
Biology. Some of you who are reading this are thinking that
educational programs are designed with this in mind. But, the
reality is, branched out scientific fields are receiving minimal
or no education of these other important sciences. A person
working on a psychology degree only has to take a few courses in
biology and usually no courses in chemistry or physics. This is
a fundamental flaw in enrolling in specialized scientific
university programs. In many cases, much of the important
science overlooked.
There are a few drawbacks to this method of learning. One is
that it would take a much greater amount of time to learn
everything from the ground up. Another is the fact that many
people can?t grasp all of these concepts. For example, I know a
lot of people who flunked high school physics that eventually
went on to become biologists. And a third problem would be that
many people may not have the patients to learn with this method.
Despite the problems with this method of learning I believe
that it is in the best interest of our society that we start
creating programs that involve this type of learning. Maybe this
isn?t for everyone, but I think that even if there are only a
small number of people that benefit from this method that they
would become innovators and inventors. They would be the people
that would push the boundary of scientific discovery to a new
level. It is a difficult path but a necessary one if we wish to
push science to its limits.
