"Science has data and experiments"

Some branches of science only have data. They're called Observational Sciences. Read the wikipedia entry on them.

" What did my physics professor always say? If you don't know how accurate your measurement is, you haven't made a measurement."

I made 50K doing IT for a department at MIT.

I made 120K for exactly the same work at a hedge fund.

THat's a 70K price to pay for the intense satisfaction that comes from helping scientists engage in science. Worth it IMO.

there are still slaves there.

Most Israeli Jews have ancestors who fled Arab countries to come to Israel.

any publicly open channel you are 'listening to' [are] a bunch of fuckwits.. infiltrated by the cia, fbi, the mainstream media and normal armchair commentators/criticizer/dumbasses such as yourself.
