Talk:Hierarchy of the sciences

The answer is … 42?
Is there a tongue-in-cheek joke in the “life, universe and everything” illustration, given that the range of the exponents is 42? Bjornte (talk) 12:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Does Formal Science really most fundamental ?
Does Formal Science really most fundamental ? Math is no more than a formal and a quantitative language. Logic is just a thinking tools. They are not really a science but a language that widely use in science and scientific research. In the top middle level of the science hierarchy, like psychology and social science, we often use languages more than maths to describe psychological and social phenomenon, especially for stuff like consciousness, emotions, values, politics, ethics, they are often describe as language rather than mathematics. However, if we talk the most top in the hierarchy of the sciences, like astronomy, cosmology, earth science, we keep use math. Cloud29371 (talk) 11:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
