Do you really not understand quantom physics and its implications? I could sit and write forever, but it will be sufficient to say that when it comes to the smallest parts of the physical universe you can never speak of certainties, and only speak of probabilities. Also, consciousness plays a role in all experiments, and as such, what you want to see you will. Read up on quantom physics and how you can appear to make an electron travel backwards through time. Its done by sending an electron through two slits n having mirrors set up to view it as a wave. At the tiniest fraction if a second, the last mirror can be turned, and the entire wave collapses and appears as if it has been moving as a particle all along, although previously you documented it as a wave.

Psychology is most definitely a science as it uses the scientific method to attempt to better understand the universe and what is going on inside if our brains. I don't
subscribe to any mind/body duality, and instead see it as one whole. Of course psychology is in its infantile stage, and as with every other science it is based on approach...I can eloborate if needed

The point of science is to create a single theory by which we can explain everything.

As this is too difficult, we take things in chunks.

To be accepted as a scientific fact a hypothesis or theory must be proven correct in repeatable experiments.

Physics is easiest to prove right or wrong (well, classical physics) for example: SUVAT equations such as : S= ((u+v)/2)t can be proven correct by experiment repeatedly. This means we can accept this equation as correct.

Chemistry is a little more difficult to prove- if I can't see pi bonds forming, how do I know that they aren't just three sigma bonds? For things like this we have theories that EXPLAIN observations, but ultimately we could be totally wrong.

Quantum Physics gets a little more tricky, especially with the whole wave/ particle duality as shown through electron diffraction grating (how can a single object pass through two seperate slits simultaneously whilst NOT being observed yet through only one when observed?)

Biology is less 'scientific' still, because as someone already said- it is hard to replicate conditions for repeat experiments.

Psychology is less scientific still, yet still scientific in its approach.


Think of it like this: Maths is core. Physics is applied maths mixed with a touch of philosophy. Chemistry is applied physics. Biology is applied chemistry with a bit of electricity. Psychology is applied biology.


So yes psychology is science: just watered down- not due to flawed theories, but flawed base science (i.e everyone is different).


Thing is, it doesn't really matter so long as you have a passion for what you study

ALSO: Kinoric or whoever you are: you blatantly are quite misinformed on quantUM physics. Don't condescend others until you know what you are talking about, or can at least spell your topic of choice.

If u would like ill write a book for u on quantum physics n the implications thereof....ill discus jumps, two slit experiments, nonlocality n much more all ending with conscious being the primacy of the universe, not matter........if you would like

*edited to include nonlocality

Nothing new, I finished an MPhys on the uses of Evanescent wave coupling in fibre optics when I was 16

*Edit that sounded gloaty- twas meant to point out you aren't as intelligent as you think baby

**Still sounded bad. Why are we engaging in this dispute on a pickup forum?


You written a lay report yet?

Lol right??

Ya I posted a couple on here. Check them out.
