How about in the sense of pure logic?

Math is beautiful when done right.

Agreed.

You many now speak the last word in this conversation.

[QUOTE=davar55;378725]I share your enthusiasm for the beauty of fractal mathematical poetry.
And I use "non-determinacy" for uncertainty. The perfection of math
makes it the most "artsy" of the "sciences."[/QUOTE]
At some universities, if you wish to take a first degree in mathematics, you can choose between a BSc (bachelor of science) and a BA (bachelor of arts).

Wouldn't hire either of them. But, then, likely, they wouldn't accept an offer....

[QUOTE=Nick;378750]At some universities, if you wish to take a first degree in mathematics, you can choose between a BSc (bachelor of science) and a BA (bachelor of arts).[/QUOTE]FWIW, I have a BA in Natural Sciences (Chemistry).

When I was in college, the Periodic Table had 103 elements,
with no gaps. Now I see it has 118 elements, filling 7 rows.
So far. More are likely, and there may be an island of stability
coming soon, perhaps of some extent of elements. My conjecture
is that there will be found as many as and no more than two more
rows in the table, many elements with some stable isotope(s), and
that both rows will fill exactly as in the pattern of the earlier rows.

I personally wouldn't know what to do with "the last word."

That's more efficient than QED.

Getting back to the Big Bully Theory ... I meant Big Belly Theory -

WHere again did the Belly come from if not its parent's DNA?

So there was a (fill-in-Belly's-correspondent-of-time) period before
the Belly existed (gestation, I guess). So the model must fail to
correspond to the cosmology, since time is time, an aspect of the
Universe with specific properties and unique importance.
