      Physics, engineering, statistics, economics, and mathematically modeling in general aren’t science? Big claim there, bud.

        Calculus is a tool used in science, absolutely. But calculus itself is not science, in the same way that a chisel is not woodworking.

          Ah, ok. Then math isn’t science, it’s just a tool for physics, computer science, and such. Also physics isn’t science, it’s just a tool for engineering and biology. Biology and chemistry aren’t sciences, they’re just tools for medicine and agriculture.

            Sure, that’s exactly what I said. Speaking of tools…

        Engineering is not science. It uses science.

          But what about engineering science?

            I’m not familiar with what they do. Describe it and I might be able to. Or not.

            Isn’t that materials science?

        Well it’s a tool, and a science in itself too, I guess, if you go into advanced fronter mathematics

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
