Hello Paul - 

WC>> Hey did you catch that PBS documentary on quantum physics
WC>> that unifies all the forces strong, weak and gravity as
WC>> Einstein was unable to do? 

PR> Not quite "unifies". 

CA>> All 'math' is not really math. Mathematics is the only
CA>> pure science with all others being based on estimates and
CA>> 'best guess'. I am just guessing that what the PBS program
CA>> was referring to was calculus and that is not technically
CA>> 'math'. 

PR> Actually it was more about topology 

As I had said in the deleted portion of my reply, I did not see
the PBS program but was making an educated guess as to what
they were covering. 'Topology' would be even less of an exact
'science' and less mathematical in the pure sense. Closer to
psychology - the _least_ exact 'science' of them all. 

http://reference.allrefer.com/encyclopedia/T/topology.html 

"topology, branch of mathematics, formerly known as analysis
situs, that studies patterns of geometric figures involving
position and relative position without regard to size. Topology
is sometimes referred to popularly as "rubber-sheet geometry"
because a figure can be changed to that of an equivalent
figure by bending, stretching, twisting, and the like, but not
by tearing or cutting."
