Well, science also has the idea of a "theorem" which is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements, but is normally confined to mathematics
I'm really biology. Physics is purely a significant area of interest. The last time I saw Swarbs, I lent him 'The Blind Watchmaker'.
Not sure I've ever encountered that before - and I've been in research 15 years. It sounds mathematical to me - theorums, proofs, etc. Ah, me, too. Interested in physics, but find it quite tricky in (most) places. Love Dawkins' work - he's so concise. I've read Blind Watchmaker loads. Great book. Think I've read all his books at least once, and all Stephen J Gould's, too. Gould is more poetic and has better little tidbits of natural history. Public science books are good easy reading, I find.
