No, science has an empirial not a theoretical root

Science is a reflection of physical repeatable experiment coupled with a language that tries its best to speak the truth,

Why philosophy is queen of all sciences?

Philosophy is regal, womanly regal. It was the earliest to develop out of human thoughts. It is considered a mother to all sciences. It in fact spawns sciences. Philosophy attempts speculation on things when science is not able to test them. Philosophy forms hypotheses which, when it becomes equipped enough, Science puts to tests and either proves to theories or discards as fallacies. Philosophy walks in front of science leading it, and progresses through science into newer hypotheses, unsatiatingly. Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art. Leaving her gains to her children, i.e., the sciences, philosophy like a regal queen mother passes on discontentedly to the yet unexplored things which she alone can speculate on.

Why study of philosophy of science?

Philosophy is no longer a field of Science at all. Science, specifically Physics, did develop from Philosophy, and other Sciences developed from Physics. This (above) explains the term "PhD" (Doctor of Philosophy) and "Physician". There are many differences between Philosophy and Science. The most important is probably that Science deals exclusively with physical objects (living or not), while Philosophy has a wider area of concern. Also, in Science, questions can (often) be answered by performing an experiment. If everyone agrees that the experiment was designed and done well, the results are accepted as "the correct answer." It is not like that in Philosophy.

Is semantics a philosophy or science?
