Science is a tool for finding answers to questions: what is happening, why and what will happen next.

At the same time, at an early stage of its development, the dominant role was played by a worldview formed by faith – religion.

Various religions offered people their own pictures of the origin of the world, which, however, are close in one thing – the whole world was once created by a certain deity or higher powers. In many sacred texts there is a certain act of creation, the moment of the origin of the world. And then the world moves under the influence of that initial impulse from the Creator, following, whether it is bad or good, its laws.

Within the framework of this concept, natural science arose. And its part Dynamics. Not just dynamics, as a separate section of Mechanics. And Dynamics in a broad sense – as a method of searching for answers to the question about the causes of the motion of matter in the form of «driving forces».

The purpose of science is to describe what happens and why, and especially what will happen if… And the opposite question is how can I do something to get the desired result? – is the main customer for any scientist. How to hit the target with a cannon? How to build a house so that it does not fall apart?

The key feature of this approach is the confidence that we control all the parameters we need. That we have all the data for substitution in the equation.

And for such answers, indeed, science had to discover the laws of nature, which, when specific parameters of the problem were substituted into them, began to give reliable results.

«Physics, by definition, is a field of natural science: the science of the most general laws of nature, of matter, its structure, movement, and rules of transformation. It is an exact science. The concepts of physics and its laws underlie all natural science.»

How will this help the entrepreneur?

Traditionally, the scheme of science is presented in the form of a diverging beam, the tip of which is somewhere at the lower end of the axis along which you can line up all the objects of our world according to their complexity – from the smallest particles to galaxies, wildlife, consciousness… and somewhere further.

By complication we mean complexity, combination, when objects are combined into new objects-systems with new qualities. At the tip of such a beam of knowledge are the physical theories of microworld objects and fundamental interactions. The structure of objects of any kind is explained on the basis of the laws of behavior of its constituent elements: an atom as a system of elementary particles, a molecule as a system of atoms… the operation of a mechanism as the interaction of parts… society as a system of individuals.

Fig. 1. Ray of combinational complexity of nature

As you move along the beam and move away from its tip, objects of nature are combined into more and more complex systems – atoms, molecules, substances, bodies, living nature, society, etc. In accordance with this, the branches of science are splitting up, if the universal theories of the united building blocks of the universe are at the forefront, now private areas of knowledge appear: chemistry, mechanics, electricity, radio engineering, materials science, hydraulics and other technical sciences…

The drawn picture is quite familiar. We always, if we ask ourselves how something works, or why it happens, we first of all try to look inside and see the reason inside the object of our attention. Since childhood, when we broke the toy, trying to see what was buzzing there and how it worked.

The laws that describe the behavior of objects through their device and interaction with other objects will be united by a common name – «Dynamics».

Accordingly, the branches of science that bud within this ray of Dynamics give rise to Special Knowledge. And people who have been trained in these industries are called Specialists! Chemists, mechanics, metallurgists, electricians, radio engineers, etc. – these are all of them.

And what do we have higher along the axis of systems? Biological objects of wildlife. And then there are human societies. It would seem that physics has nothing to do with it? It is unlikely that we will be able to explain the behavior of our dog or our project team using basic physical interactions. Sociology, psychology, politics – these are the humanities. Which are clearly opposed to the «exact sciences» – natural science:

«The humanities are disciplines that study a person in the sphere of his spiritual, mental, moral, cultural and social activities. If specificity is important in other sciences, then in the humanities, if such accuracy is important, for example, descriptions of a historical event, then the versatility and even infinity of such a work (description) is important, so that, if possible, each person finds something of his own in it, while receiving a certain aesthetic satisfaction.»

So. Fixing a car, figuring out how a fireplace or ventilation works, installing electrical wiring – some of the physics can be useful to any of us. At least in order to understand when your employee is trying to fool you, talking about the need for alcohol to wipe the optical axes. What about business concerns? Business is a complex object that, in addition to technology, includes human relations, motivation, financial movements, and work with markets. The humanities are certainly connected with the daily problems of business, and «exact», natural science – quite, it would seem, far, far away.
