Science Without Numbers: The Quantitative Rebellion
Science without numbers? Might as well call it philosophy and be done with it. This is like advertising "Swimming Without Water" or "Astronomy Without Looking Up." Nominalism is that philosophical stance where someone insists mathematical objects don't actually exist—they're just convenient fictions. Sure, and gravity is just a suggestion. Next thing you know, we'll have "Chemistry Without Elements" and "Biology Without Cells." The quantitative rebellion is here, folks, and it's as useful as a chocolate teapot in a sauna.
