The foundations are in the mathematical sciences, beginning with Galileo and Kepler and wrestled with by Descartes until Newton came up with a brilliant work on mechanics. It’s focus has been on the mechanical, ie numerical and geometrical, principles of motion and not on substance. Studying not what it is but where it will be, giving us greater certainty of phenomena and thus greater self-determination in an unpredictable world. This intellectual current is now upheld by the engineering sciences. The physicists are too glued to the Bohr Model and a particle universe to concern themselves with a new mechanics in light of the quantum wave phenomena discovered last century.
