Ok here is another idea. A star representing science, a miners ax representing minerals, and a book which could be metaphorical for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the problem of 42. Attachments:

I prefer the original one with new colorings. Could the devide be a 4 pointed star? In yellow? And can the right be half red, half blue, with yellow balls?

You need to consider the following:
II. 1. a. Complexity Rule – Armory must use a limited number of tinctures and types of charges.
As the number of tinctures involved in a device increases, the number of types of charge should decrease. As the number of types increases, the number of tinctures should decrease. In no case should the number of different tinctures or types of charges be so great as to eliminate the visual impact of any single design element. As a rule, the total of the number of tinctures plus the number of types of charges (the “complexity metric”) should not exceed eight. (A line of partition counts for one “complexity point”, unless a charge follows the line. For instance, Per fess or and argent, three widgets sable and Per fess or and argent, on a fess sable a widget argent both have complexity of 5 – three tinctures, fess, and widget.)
But exceptions to this rule may be allowed, if the overall visual effect is one of artistic unity rather than of over-complexity.
ALso, I don't think a star can divide a field as a star is a charge not a division.

This design already has a complexity of five. Attachments:

A sword is also not a division but a charge. I can put a sword over the division which would increase the complexity to 6 (8 is the max).

A sword is also not a Division. A sword is a Charge.

Sword over I think also, can you half and half the right? Blue and red?

But it seams a bit bottom heavy... Inverted sword?

This design already has a complexity of five. I count seven: four for the tinctures (argent, gules, sable, and or), two for the charge types (delves and bezants), and one for the dividing endorse. Adding a sword would make it eight, and also strikes me as slot-machine heraldry.

There also may be a contrast issue with the division. It would probably be difficult to distinguish between "per pale argent and gules an endorse or" and just plain "per pale argent and gules". You could resolve that by dropping the endorse, or swapping some of the tinctures around to increase contrast.
