ehhhhh but this way more apt on how it works (than you'd probably like) once you venture outside the realm of testable.
PBS Space time recently did one on multi-verse[0], watch it and, you'll get the feeling sections of this really do feel like sociology/psychology.

- rob_c 10mo agoOutside the realm of the testable isn't worth discussing to experimentalists so might as well be a non quantifiable field. Although sociology is perfectly quantifiable and measurable. Even though arguably the underlying relationships between the measurements are extremely difficult to extract. A better example is pure philosophy and maths rather than sociology to particle theory. But then again, nobody ever accused QFT of being too simple, so maybe I'm arguing against my own point there.
- layer8 10mo agoThat says more about PBS Space Time than about physics.
- IAmBroom 10mo agoThat's a bit like reading Psychology Today to understand the DSM-VI committee.
