thewronghands: Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. brains and luxuriant flowing hair! i win!
via C: Tom and Jerry: the lost episodes. this is eerily timed; we saw a preview of This Film is Not Yet Rated last night. (i enjoyed it at siff and really wanted to be able to talk about it with C.) one of the talking heads discusses the use of violence in film, and his idea is that violence without blood is the most adult of all - children should be shown real consequences first. (the illustrative clips contrasted True Lies and Saving Private Ryan.)
happy belated birthday toshadowdaddy.
edit: oh eljay brain trust - i would like to have a general movies icon that is not siff. what could it be?

Date: 2006-09-22 03:32 pm (UTC)I think I'd disagree, and I think Math is as much a science as Theoretical Physics. Although, of course, I much prefer the definition "math is the alphabet, with which God wrote the Universe".
And yes, your hair is luxuriant.

I think I'd disagree, and I think Math is as much a science as Theoretical Physics.
science has two characteristics i deem absent from mathematics:
- a reliance on real-world observation (and, indeed, the real world)
- a different epistemology - scientific theory is disprovable, mathematical theory is not.
to my way of thinking, those are rather significant differences.math is the alphabet, with which God wrote the Universe
i find descriptions of mathematics as a language unsatisfying, although i'll have to think more before i can explain coherently why. my sense is that the alphabet the universe is written in is, rather, quarks, leptons and gauge bosons. actually, even that's too theoretical. the alphabet of the universe is moments and locations, occupied and unoccupied.
