Thus, aims to have a deeper insight into the concept, the properties andamp; the dynamics of innovation, fostering the mindset of an innovative mind, developing a culture of innovation; and thereafter move towards developing a universal theory of innovation. The theory is expected to have significant impact on a wide range of domains of human activities, including mutual interactions and with nature and beyond. This would also go a long way in ensuring solutions for a sustainable quality of life on this planet as envisioned in SDGs enunciated by UNO.EnglishInnovation, social physics, super-exponential, multidisciplinaryhttps://ijimsr.org/admin/abstract?id=5References1619L.M.

In modern commercial use, it can also refer to the analysis of social phenomenon with big data; and it covers socialandnbsp;statics and social dynamics, an quantitative study of human society andamp; social statistics.
