What is Science?
That question, needs to addressed very carefully since many times science is said to be somehow explaining notions of supernatural origin.
What does this have to do with the question: What is science?
Simply, science is the practice of experimentation, rationalizing ideas with empirical evidence, and arriving at sound conclusions. It seems that any idea could be science, in fact, why not every idea that floats in my head be scientifically tested?
This post is in response to the fact that many science threads, that AREN'T science, *cough* Garethsir are still open. This means that the science thread is saturated with useless threads.
Please close all threads that aren't related to scientific ideas in any sense, to the extent where if the combination of hypothesis, data, conclusion are NOT present.
Lets start with this one.
Hypothesis: I believe that having all useless posts (Garethsir's especially) open, merely allows someone to bump them all and saturate the science thread with bullshit, which actually takes a long time to clean out the first page, since the science thread is very very slowly developed.
Data:http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6379/pwnedssss.png
Conclusion: Close all threads that do not have verified science and are just childish musings about ideas which frankly hold no place in any sort of scientific environment *cough* Garethsir's.
I'll even donate 5fg to science, sheesh.
