... the origins of many scientific disciplines such as maths and astronomy ...
Math and astronomy are NOT sciences. Question: What is a science? Choose any area of investigation; you have independent and dependent variables. The investigator controls the levels of the independent variables. He then measures the responses of the system, i.e. the dependent variables. This is the essence of "controlled experiments". In math and astronomy you CANNOT conduct controlled experiments, therefore, they are NOT sciences.
And don't forget to randomize you sorry bastards. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
And I shall then pin a card to your chest saying:
Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is, in its broadest sense, any systematic knowledge that is capable of resulting in a correct prediction or reliable outcome. In this sense, science may refer to a highly skilled technique, technology, or practice.
... science may refer to a highly skilled technique, technology, or practice.
So I'm doing science when I'm watching cyberporn and playing with my pud ... "a highly skilled technique"? In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.
Well that explains everything, at least, all my jacking off. I knew I wasn't just enjoying myself, that there was "a higher purpose". In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
