Idea: Theory of Parallels

The theory of Parallels states that the laws of physics are mirrored in every other area of human existence.
For example - laws of attraction have an equivalent in the other sciences: chemistry, biology, anthropology, psychology etcetera.
In all these sciences there are laws of attraction (laws which govern the attraction of one thing to another) which are similar, though not identical, to the laws of attraction in physics.
Possible application of this theory:
If you can see, for example, how the laws in physics resemble psychology, you could create the psychological equivalent of magnets; levers; rockets and other useful devices to serve humanity.
What would be the psycholgical equivalent of a magnet, a lever or a rocket? What attracts people; what moves people, what propells people, in other words methods of communication and motivation.
What made me come to this conclusion? - Thinking about gravity. It seemed odd to me that, socially, the small gravitate towards and become satellites around the large (the weak around the powerful, the poor around the rich, the herd around the Alpha); too much of a coincidence that this gravitation would exist both in animal behaviour and in physics and so it occurred to me perhaps all physical laws have equivalents in other areas of existence; perhaps, I thought, there might be a psychological law that resembled Newtons 3 laws of motion or that resembles the laws that govern subatomic particles.
This Is An Old Idea: It is an idea that has been glimpsed at by many people; for example many mathematicians have expressed the idea that the whole world could be understood through mathematics. And yet, is there a field of human enquiry which seeks to find parallels between all fields of human knowledge? No, there is not; there is no science which studies the similarities between physics and psychology or physics and economics.
That is what I am suggesting and in that way, my idea is a new one. I believe the same laws that exist within physics are paralleled within every area of existence and that these parallels should be studied.
