🔬 Science MOC
A lot of these things were learned back in high school, but it is very difficult to maintain this knowledge. I wished I had used Obsidian earlier so I could refer to some super old texts instead of wasting time re-learning everything.

Science vs. Mathematics
Surprisingly learned this from Clean Architecture, a programming book.
Mathematics works by proofs. In science, we cannot prove a certain law. We can demonstrate these laws, and make measurements to show that they are correct, but we can’t prove them in a mathematical sense.
Science
Scientific theories and laws are falsifiable but not provable.
This sort of ties into Truth.
Science vs. Mathematics
- Mathematics is the discipline of proving provable statements true
- Science is the discipline of proving provable statements false
