The branches of science (which are also referred to as "sciences", "scientific fields", or "scientific disciplines") are commonly divided into two major groups: natural sciences, which study natural phenomena (including biological life), and social sciences, which study human behavior and societies. These groupings are empirical sciences, which means the knowledge must be based on observable phenomena and capable of being tested for its validity by other researchers working under the same conditions.[1] There are also related disciplines that are grouped into interdisciplinary and applied sciences, such as engineering and medicine. Within these categories are specialized scientific fields that can include parts of other scientific disciplines but often possess their own terminology and expertise.[2]

HIVE OF MINDS

Leading scientists and scholars of the United Stars of the Galaxies. The HoM currently holds 5000 active members and all branches of science.

The HoM elects the  Science Council Chairman ( SCC), supervises the Science Council, decides who becomes Chief of Branch ( one chief per Science branch). The HoM works out the necessary budget for all Science Projects for the SCC. The Office of HoM is open to the General Public and will respond to scientific research requests if warranted or decide upon field research and science missions based upon such requests.

HoM also coordinates with Private Science Institutions.

The HoM appropriates funds and allocates resources to individual branches and the Sci Corps (with the Explorer Fleet)

Being called into the HoM is an exceptional Honor to a scientist. The HoM meets daily from Monday to Friday from 0900 to 1400 unless emergency sessions are ordered by the SCC.

The HoM awards the Lumina Prize, a scientific award that is similar to the still existing Terran Nobel Prize, the Saresii Silver Lock, Seneca's Scroll of Pan Saran or the Eye of Horus of Saran Origin. Of course the Lumina Prize is the most coveted science award in the Union.

A scientist or a science institution with a HoM Lumina laureate can expect easy funding and resource allocation.
