Give it a chance mate! Physics and Chem have 200ish years of advantage in their scientific endeavors. All social sciences study real phenomena and the best of them try to explain and predict the world; as such is just a matter of time till they get as robust as natural science.Owyn_Merrilin said:Art in the archaic sense, as in "a human endeavor that is not a science," not so much art in the sense that anyone who partakes in it is an art critic. There's just too much fudge factor involved for it to truly be a science; you know, like the old saying "it's more art than science." Bascially, cooking is an art; baking is a science. If you try to turn baking into an art or cooking into a science, the end result is not particularly good. (In the case of baking, I'm referring specifically to actually making the pastry/bread. There is very little room for going off-recipe, and experiments pretty much have to be carried out by changing one variable at a time. Decorating a cake, obviously, isn't what I'm talking about here.)
Edit: But its true that most people in social science lack the math tools to do "real" science. Don't worry, when math majors take over the world we will force people to do 2 hours math a day at least.
