PHYSICAL DIMENSION OF SCIENCES

Abstract

A classification of scientific fields by the place that their typical objects occupy in three-dimensional space of physical dimensions: length, mass and time - in a logarithmic scale is proposed. Classification includes some areas of physics, chemistry, biology and geology, as well as history. The role of the areas that are not subject to the physical classification, for example, quantum mechanics is also discussed. Natural interdisciplinary connections are established, as well as the gaps – the regions of space in which there are no objects of modern science. Conclusions about the comparison of scientific fields on the index of interdisciplinarity are made and recommendations on the assessment of scientific achievements by a wide audience are given.
