No, in ALL science. If there is n= o experimentation, it ISN'T science.

While = it is true that the so-called "soft" sciences such a psychology, = sociology, et al., are usually incapable of coming to concrete conclusions,= they still use experiments to accrue evidence of their hy= potheses.

Your mathematical formulae have no basis in any kind of experimenting, = and thusly can not be given any higher regard than numbers which are com= pletely made up. You must have experiments to back up your claim, for w= ithout them, that's all you have; a claim.

I am not a "believer". I hold my opinion = for the simple reason that there is no evidence to the contrary.
