  In general, if you have to put science in the name, it isn't.

      That's long for math

        Which definitely is science; QED.

          Proofs are math, science is uncertain (otherwise why bother running experiments)
          • OJFord 10y ago
            No, science is - literally - knowledge.

              > No, science is - literally - knowledge. No, science is a means of generating (and justifying) beliefs, it is not knowledge itself.
