>>4992964 i don't know about "junior science", but there's no denying that biology is just a subset of physics.
Pic related.

not to mention, it gets pretty interdisciplinary from biology onward, between biology/chemistry, chemistry/physics and of course physics/math

Science is applied math, which in turn is applied logic.

INB4 philosophical shitstorm discussing trivial nuances.

Mathematics is the only real science. Everything else is for people who are too dumb to do real science. hurr durr

>>4600868

Anyone else majoring in pure mathematics?

When I hear my old HS friends talk about how difficult their engineering or finance homework is I laugh so hard right in their face.

>feels good man

So, is logic a science?

>>4463434

that's how i see it; i love math. if i could get a useful degree taking mostly math courses, it would change my life.

If your major is something other than mathematics, you are intellectually inferior.

>1) mathematics
>2) yes

personally i dont give a shit whether or not maths is a science or not

this picture explains all OP

Hello everyone. Until recently, I have been having very vivid dreams which were quite troubling. Each night I go to sleep and dream that I am Einstein teaching general relativity theory. In my dreams I see one equation repeatedly and I wish to share it with you. I believe God has shown me the truth and here I will help you learn it.

The general idea is that we can derive much of the previous relativity theories by beginning with the following definition of time, where:

<span class="math">t:=\int_{P} E(x)dx[/spoiler]

That is; time is defined to be the sum (integral) of energy present (contributed by vector or scalar fields) along a path P in some Riemannian manifold.

I believe this definition immediately implies the constancy of the speed of light, and hence special relativity. Furthermore, it explains exactly why an electron and a proton do not spiral into one another in the atomic nucleus. (N.B - the gravitational reason for this is clear)

I would like to hear arguments against this definition of time, I have not had much time to work out the mathematical theory, so any critique mathematical, physical or philosophical will be considered.

>Math is feminine
Well fuck me.
When did this happen?
Because if math is feminine then by extension so is the rest of science

This would also imply that social sciences are orders of magnitude more complex than maths or physics, which are child's play compared to sociology.

12 mathematicians, duh! Every other profession is just an application of mathematics it should work.

Lolno.

There is only one real science joke.
