What is science if not the gathering of knowledge.
Where you think it is located most of the knowledge?
Within this physical arena or universe?
Are you joking?
The old saying............IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING YOU MUST KNOW YOURSELF.
And this work is done within not outside in this physical world.
This work and this science is called INTUITIONAL SCIENCE.
Looks like we may be talking past one another as to the use of the word "science". Below is the beginning of the wiki entry.
Here it addresses the modern use of the word which we have been pointing out doesn't fit with what you've been calling Intuitional Science:
Quote:In modern usage, "science" most often refers to a way of pursuing knowledge, not only the knowledge itself. It is also often restricted to those branches of study that seek to explain the phenomena of the material universe.[6] In the 17th and 18th centuries scientists increasingly sought to formulate knowledge in terms of laws of nature such as Newton's laws of motion. And over the course of the 19th century, the word "science" became increasingly associated with the scientific method itself, as a disciplined way to study the natural world, including physics, chemistry, geology and biology.
And here is the other use of "science", still in use, which you have been claiming. Looks like I have been mistaken to insist on the other usage exclusively.
Quote:However, "science" has also continued to be used in a broad sense denoting reliable, teachable knowledge about a topic, as in modern terms like library science or computer science. This is also reflected in the names of some areas of academic study such as "social science" or "political science".
So if you don't mind placing your Intuition Science on the shelf beside Library Science, Computer Science and Political Science .. rather than on the shelf reserved for the natural sciences whose study employs the scientific method .. I think I can stop calling Intutional Science oxymoronic. Deal?
