Math is not a science. Math is fundamentally opposite of science.
In science nothing can be proven. Proof is exclusively the domain of mathematics. The Lack of proof is foundational to science, it’s built into the core axiom of the scientific method.
This axiom is actually the reason why science is so “bad” because nothing can really be confirmed. But something like psychology is on a whole different level because of the replication crisis. Psychology has outright fraud going on.
- yencabulator 2y agoFollowing in the true style of mathematics, I propose that you two actually agree, and that math has 0 of parent's "components involved in a field".
- mensetmanusman 2y agoThat's what I was thinking, math has 0 atoms, physics works with ones of atoms, chemistry tens, polymer physics, tens of thousands, biology trillions, psychology 10^25, etc. :)
- ninetyninenine 2y agoNah in his reply he’s talking about complexity.
