Appendix
Correlations Between the Physical and Social Sciences by Valentine J. Belfiglio presents four case studies that make correlations between the physical and social sciences, stressing it is important to anchor statistical data to mathematical formulae or the laws of physics to minimize the conscious and unconscious bias of some scholars who might otherwise manipulate data in support of preconceived notions.
