Where did this definition come from? Did you just make it up? It excludes all of mathematics and most of astronomy, for example.

- harperlee 3y agoWell on some contexts maths is apart from science, see e.g. the STEM acronym :)
- dekhn 3y agoPeople generally consider, although this is not universally agreed, that math isn't science. To me the distinction matters, although it's fairly subtle. This is underscored by frequently cited articles, like: "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences", in which math is treated as separate, but intimately related, to natural philosophy. I think you can do math without science, but you can't do science without math.
