ABSTRACT

Science attempts to understand how natural systems function. However, all natural sciences are not at the same level of development. For example, physical sciences are more developed than biological/ecological sciences. One branch of science benefits from the developments in the other branches. A classic example is the contribution of Crick [40] to solve the structure of the DNA molecule. The building blocks of molecular biology were created by a practitioner of solid state physics. The Lotka-Volterra models originated from chemical kinetics.
