/sci/ - Science & Math

[Anonymous No.4454276]

I'd rather live in a world without cars, computers and thermoplastics than in a world without antibiotics, vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs.

Everything outside applied mathematics like statistics is useless luxury.
The most usefull thing ingenieers and physics ever came up with is the refrigerator and electric light.
Chemistry is a noble art of making fertilizers.

I enjoy all the things that make up our lifes in the wealthy nations of the 21st century.
Knowledge is to be accired about every part of our surroundings, we agree on that. But.

BIOLOGY.

Call it whatever you like, but it has been more use to mankind than all of your "hard science" combined.

Simple mendelian genetics are worth more than all of calculus.

And I think you are all very aware of that.

you misunderstand me.
I know for a fact that biology is NOT A HARD SCIENCE
i'm studying it, so..

I know it is anoingly uncertain and to optain empirical evidence for your findings you have to go through a lot of shit (especially in genetics).

What I mean, is simply: It is worth more. You probably whould not be alive now without vaccinations.

useful science > hard science

you can't manufacture drugs without chemistry and chemistry wouldn't have progressed as far as it has without physics and physics wouldhan't have progressed far enough toe help chemistry to progress far enough to help biology to progress far enough without mathematics.

and you are very much proofing my point that you are insecure about whatever mathematical "problem" you are wraping your reality-denying brain around at the moment.

I suppose antiobiotics, vaccines and pharmaceutical drugs are all discovered, tested in simulations, and synthesised at a fast rate without the use of cars,computers and thermoplastics.

>>4454315

I know all that.
And I use the tools you people kindly provided every day in the lab.
What I want of you is as much respect for the foundings of biologists as for the teories of physicists.

>for biologists
pick one.

Josef Mengele knew biology and killed a lot of people in horrible experiments. I hope you dont want to study biology.

Do you SERIOUSLY hope?

pick one.

i pick "for biologists"
whatever the hell that is.

And please save one forbiologists for the transvestite that you learned your grammar from.

Adolf Hittler was vegetarian.
I hope you don't like veggies.

Cool down, OP.
Hating on biology is more a sport on /sci/ than a real attitude.

Except for those who are stupid enough confuse biology with petting animals in a zoo. But those people are worthless anyway.

Thank you.
I nearly lost hope in /sci/ after this one god tier threads yesterday.

I have compassion for the cosmos. Whatever is necessary to understand more is in my primal interest.

Getting the hate for analysing the workings of cells is an unspeakable unconfortable situation.
"Sport" should really not mean beating on one of your kind.

So thanks.

One can argue if the act of inventing something and the act of inventing a way to evectively produce a way to reproduce said invention are comparable.

Using your argument biology could be made accountable for inventing beer.
And because beer is widely considered awesome, biology should obtain that titel, too.

dont forget better crop growth / food production so not everyone has to be a damn farmer and people can actually have time for the other sciences
dont forget genetic engineering bacteria to produce massive amounts of hydrocarbons for cleaner fuels
dont forget stem cell research that will allow us to harvest organs
dont forget immortality
