2018-07-31 19:13:44 UTC

then only math is a science

2018-07-31 19:13:52 UTC

and physics and chemistry

2018-07-31 19:13:55 UTC

nope

2018-07-31 19:13:58 UTC

yes it is

2018-07-31 19:14:01 UTC

quantum is 100% unpredictable

2018-07-31 19:14:06 UTC

Medical sciences are just physics and chemistry

2018-07-31 19:14:07 UTC

thats physics out of the way

2018-07-31 19:14:14 UTC

which chemistry is based on

2018-07-31 19:14:14 UTC

Physics and chemistry are just math

2018-07-31 19:14:47 UTC

so cuz quantum physics is unpredictable

Physics is unpredictable?

2018-07-31 19:14:51 UTC

you can predict with certainty that if you do the quantum experiment infinite times, half of the results will be spin one way, and the other hald spin in the other way

2018-07-31 19:14:56 UTC

try catching a falling piano with your head, who knows ๐Ÿ˜‰ you might NOT die

2018-07-31 19:15:17 UTC

the reason quantum IS science, is cause we can predict that the results will be one or the other half of the time

2018-07-31 19:15:26 UTC

ephasis on predict

2018-07-31 19:15:28 UTC

Is the argument here that if you can't predict something 100% it's not science?

2018-07-31 19:15:34 UTC

it seems like it

2018-07-31 19:15:40 UTC

i find it rather odd though

2018-07-31 19:15:53 UTC

no, its that you can't with certainty guess the outcome

Big difference

2018-07-31 19:16:02 UTC

Define certainty

2018-07-31 19:16:21 UTC

100% consistency?

2018-07-31 19:16:24 UTC

If i give a person a medicine

I can't predict what side effects he'll get if any

2018-07-31 19:16:31 UTC

Sure you can

2018-07-31 19:16:42 UTC

You're not going to give someone cough syrup and cure cancer

2018-07-31 19:16:53 UTC

estimates and averages will tell you the odds of side effects though

2018-07-31 19:16:58 UTC

which is a form of science

2018-07-31 19:17:06 UTC

odds can increase or decrease on conditions

2018-07-31 19:17:10 UTC

which is also science

2018-07-31 19:17:11 UTC

take Chemo for example

You can't give it to someone and predict they'll cure cancer

2018-07-31 19:17:15 UTC

it might

2018-07-31 19:17:16 UTC

Think of it like troubleshooting a very complicated computer

2018-07-31 19:17:17 UTC

edging closer and closer to the truth

2018-07-31 19:17:18 UTC

but you can't give that certainty

2018-07-31 19:17:19 UTC

You don't cure cancer

2018-07-31 19:17:30 UTC

but never actually getting there

2018-07-31 19:17:52 UTC

But yeah, you have a massive computer doing calculations you cannot keep track of

2018-07-31 19:17:54 UTC

There's a bug

2018-07-31 19:18:08 UTC

massive kitty cats

2018-07-31 19:18:18 UTC

You troubleshoot by going through a list of potential fixes, because it's infeasible for you to know the exact state of the machine

2018-07-31 19:18:22 UTC

look at the size of that thing

2018-07-31 19:19:25 UTC

When you don't know the exact problem, you cant prescribe an exact solution. You can only hope you have the right idea

2018-07-31 19:19:37 UTC

your point?

2018-07-31 19:19:51 UTC

But if someone breaks a leg, you can't just give them a bandaid and assume it'll work .001% of the time

2018-07-31 19:20:05 UTC

motto chanto itte

2018-07-31 19:20:06 UTC

The idea that medicine is somehow randomized is preposterous

2018-07-31 19:20:13 UTC

i didn't say that

2018-07-31 19:20:15 UTC

i said its statistics

2018-07-31 19:20:19 UTC

and not science

2018-07-31 19:20:21 UTC

which is false

2018-07-31 19:20:22 UTC

It's not really though

2018-07-31 19:20:37 UTC

it isn't a science, and it is statistics

2018-07-31 19:20:57 UTC

I have put a band aid on my broken foot. It healed

2018-07-31 19:22:16 UTC

If someone has cancer, and you give him Chemo, you give him a % chance he'll make it, you can't say it for certain

If i ram a solid block of concrete sized a cubic meter into a human beings face at 100 km/h, uninterrupted

I can give him a 100% chance his head is gonna be scattered behind him

2018-07-31 19:22:55 UTC

unless its on a spring that one time

2018-07-31 19:23:03 UTC

or an earthquake happens

2018-07-31 19:23:08 UTC

good ole duke nuke'em science

2018-07-31 19:23:11 UTC

or it explodes without anyone knowing why

2018-07-31 19:23:12 UTC

If you drop a person off of a building there's a % chance they'll survive

2018-07-31 19:23:17 UTC

ramming a block intho a humans face

2018-07-31 19:23:20 UTC

Physics is now statistics

2018-07-31 19:23:21 UTC

depends on the falling distance

2018-07-31 19:23:22 UTC

XD

2018-07-31 19:23:38 UTC

everyone please ask yourselves why you are continuing this conversation

2018-07-31 19:23:41 UTC

people have survived falls from planes super high up

2018-07-31 19:23:44 UTC

47 storeys

2018-07-31 19:23:47 UTC

cause its fun

2018-07-31 19:24:05 UTC

and yes, from planes as well

2018-07-31 19:24:24 UTC

10Km fall: survives

2018-07-31 19:24:24 UTC

ITS PEGGY

2018-07-31 19:24:26 UTC

XD

2018-07-31 19:24:27 UTC

Looks like it's not a 100% chance. Time to relabel physics as statistics

2018-07-31 19:24:30 UTC

quess physics aint science now

2018-07-31 19:24:33 UTC

who knew

2018-07-31 19:24:50 UTC

i do love your strawmans ๐Ÿ˜‰

2018-07-31 19:25:06 UTC

i didn't say it had to be 100%, you two made it that way

2018-07-31 19:25:15 UTC

nuh uh

2018-07-31 19:25:21 UTC

Your point against medicine was that it wasn't 100% lol

2018-07-31 19:25:27 UTC

once you dont have 100% its statistics not a science

2018-07-31 19:25:36 UTC

2018-07-31 19:25:52 UTC

i'd like you to find me saying that

2018-07-31 19:26:03 UTC

well medecine is an applied science tbh

2018-07-31 19:26:07 UTC

#PWNAGE

2018-07-31 19:26:12 UTC

formed of several different branches

2018-07-31 19:26:21 UTC

"If someone has cancer, and you give him Chemo, you give him a % chance he'll make it, you can't say it for certain

If i ram a solid block of concrete sized a cubic meter into a human beings face at 100 km/h, uninterrupted

I can give him a 100% chance his head is gonna be scattered behind him"

2018-07-31 19:26:30 UTC

did you not say medicine was not a science because it was not 100% predictable?

2018-07-31 19:26:35 UTC

cause im pretty sure you did

2018-07-31 19:26:37 UTC

If someone drops out of a plane you give him a % chance he'll make it

2018-07-31 19:26:46 UTC

XD

2018-07-31 19:27:02 UTC

i did not Cytos

And Beemann, i said i give a 100% chance his head is gonna be scattered

I didn't say that it has to be 100% to be a science

2018-07-31 19:27:13 UTC

so again, who's saying that it was?

2018-07-31 19:27:45 UTC

my concept of science might be different but don't make claims you yourself make and then attribute them to me

2018-07-31 19:27:49 UTC

By point of comparison

2018-07-31 19:28:07 UTC

Why isn't medicine a science? Because you can't say chemo will work for certain

2018-07-31 19:28:26 UTC

Because I can't predict that in the exact same testing parameters the outcome becomes the exact same

2018-07-31 19:28:28 UTC

after some minor scrolling i got this quote

2018-07-31 19:28:30 UTC

"its statistics, because i can't predict its endings with certainty"

2018-07-31 19:28:32 UTC

Why isnt physics a science? Because you can't say a 10k drop will kill for certain
