Fuck you, thermodynamics. I don't obey your laws.

topkek, where's your God now, mathfags?

Why is it assumed that the universe can be described in terms of absolute terms (true and false), even though it's better described with truth values ranging on a continuum from 0 to 1?

Mathematics, with which the universe is described, is absolutist - it assumes truth values of either true or false.

I suggest watching "What the bleep do we know". It's a documentary made by top quantum scientists.

Which scientific discipline has the most unjustifiably smug practitioners? Medicine? Physics? Economics?
