If you mean foods or medications or similar, probably the Biology forum would be best. If you mean fabrics or building materials, either the Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering forum may be best. Can you give an example of what you want to ask about to help me suggest the best forum?
And remember when starting a new thread to always include links to the reading you've been doing when trying to answer your question. That helps us to understand your background and current level of understanding. Thanks.
It's a physics question, but crosses over many areas, that's why I'm having difficulty knowing where to start it.
Feynman wrote "Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an
approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because
we know that we do not know all the laws as yet. Therefore, things must be learned only to be unlearned again or, more likely, to be corrected." (Six Easy Pieces, page 2)
Relating to science generally, I'm interested in constants. For example, pi is derived from a circle, which is what I would call an artificial construct. In that in nature we are seeking to understand a natural construct, whatever it be, I think it is important to investigate the difference between a natural construct and an artificial construct (ie dimensionality).
Hope this helps to point me in the right direction. If however you feel this is too generic a question then I'm happy to depart, just say the word.
