It's missing engineering as the farthest to the right.

>> No.9233885

Computer Science all the way to the right, but otherwise correct.

Not true at all

The only parts of cs or engineering which could be considered farther to the right would be subsets of math anyway

•Place everything on a numbered line graph
•reverse the order, so math is on the far left side
•set math to 0, physics to 1 and so on.....
•move psychology and sociology to the left of math (putting it in the negative numbers)


Now all physical based sciences are in the positive, while non corporeal sciences are in the negatives. You could even put spirituality and religion in the far negative if you wished, tho those hardly follow any scientific method so can't be said to be a science. Noncorporeal things can't be studied with the same tools used to study the physical sciences, which is why they're so lacking. We simply don't have the tools to properly look inside a human's soul or read their thoughts to study it. You could even put spirituality or religion on the far negative side of the scale, but those are never utilize any form of scientific method so they can't be said to be a science, tho Buddhism does come close.

You'll notice Math is 0. Math is the bridge between the physical and mental. Math can exist and function in both places, even simultaneously. If we're ever to develop tools to study the human thought process or even the human soul it'll be based with math. Such as computer programing algorithms and logic, but in human form. (programing is a sub-set of mathematics)

What does difficulty have to do with that comic? It seems like a lot of you keep interpreting this as a ranking of how good fields are or how smart you need to be for these fields when the actual topic is how abstract vs. applied they are.

It's like taking Advanced Calculus and calling Real Analysis easy when you didn't even use Rudin.

>Wouldn't engineering be to the left of physics?
Yes. Engineering is like the epitome of "applied." Putting it to the right on a fields purity scale would be retarded and I think the only reason anyone suggests that is because they're confusing "applied" / "pure" with "bad" / "good" or "smart" / "stupid."

It's very silly that anyone seriously in any of those fields would allow personal bias to enter into the equation and lead to feeling any level of superiority to any of the others.

nah the others are natural sciences that blend into each other, mathematics is used for all but is on a separate branch of fields. therefor not applicable when speaking of purity.
