Medicine and physics are not purely human constructs tho.

• pasquinelli 11y ago
  the universe and how it changes over time isn't a human construct, but physics is, one that tries to describe the universe and how it changes over time at a certain level of complexity. same for medicine, except that the human body is actually a human construct ;)

    >same for medicine, except that the human body is actually a human construct The human body is merely (re)produced by humans, whereas with "construct" here we mean the design of things (which, in the body's case would be, e.g. nature, evolution, etc).

    If you figure out how to make physics simpler and still be accurate, the physicists would definitely like to hear it.

      Oh, really?
      • andrewflnr 11y ago
        Yeah, really. One of the driving forces of theoretical physics is simplification. That's what all the quantum-gravity-unification noise is about: having two theories is messy, even if they both produce solid predictions. Unless your point is "they won't listen to a poor sap like you", in which case, take a chill pill.
