first science
the missing science, the theory of everything, and the arrow of time

| First Science is the most general of sciences. It underlies all the sciences. Whilst some may claim that mathematical physics holds this position, this is not so. | |
Mathematical physics cannot, in principle, explain the Arrow of Time (see why). As a result, the sciences built around the Arrow of Time, such as biology, the mind sciences and the social sciences, cannot be reduced to mathematical physics. As such, a complete unified theory of nature, which includes the Arrow of Time, cannot be constructed within the framework of mathematical physics. Instead, if there is to be a complete unified theory, it must be based on a deeper science that unifies mathematical physics and the more complex sciences. This deeper, missing science is First Science. First Science is an empirical, logical, universal science. It provides the framework for mathematical physics and physics in general. It explains the natural world. In a just released book we introduce and name the new field of First Science. We explain what it is and why it is needed. We postulate the foundations of the field. In short, we provide a manifesto for First Science. |
