| Sid_Burns | thanks math |
| HiLander | the world is going to end. math has nothing to do with that. blame science. |
| Sid_Burns | science is math |
| HiLander | science uses math |
| Sid_Burns | IS! |
| HiLander | in the same way authors use keyboards or typewriters |
| Sid_Burns | or pens and scribble pads! |
| nawa | authors are keyboards |
| Sid_Burns | i agree |
| HiLander | no, no, literature is keyboards is the analogy here |
| Sid_Burns | literature doesnt exhist or exist |
| HiLander | it exists as much as anything else does |
| nawa | you are right hilander |
| Sid_Burns | nothing exists we are all figments of my imagination |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : when american use the term science which subject does that comprise ? |
| HiLander | i'm actually a pigment of your imagination. mauve, i believe. |
| Sid_Burns | just a figment with some pigment |
| HiLander | _kmh_: usually it refers without bias to physics, chemistry, biology, and other physical sciences "without bias" meaning any of them |
| Sid_Burns | social! |
| HiLander | or all of them |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : so physical sciences only ? |
| HiLander | when people say "science" with no qualifies, 99 times out of 100 they mean physical sciences qualifiers* |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : ok |
| Sid_Burns | i will phyiscal your science |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : it is somewhat different in German, which always confuses me |
| HiLander | what does it refer to in german? |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : more or less any (university) research subject |
| Sid_Burns | yayer |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : so social sciences, formal sciences, philosophy and similar as well |
| HiLander | any research subject? so, like, studying the works of Goethe would be science? |
| _kmh_ | HiLander : yes of course |
| HiLander | ahh, that would make american's usage confusing americans'* bah to grammar |
