[quote]With a series of quick blasts and a cloud of dust, a 13-story building crashed to the ground in Hayward, Calif. Scientists are studying the implosion to prepare for future earthquakes. (August 17)

Woah, blowing up a building to study earthquakes.

It was probably slated for demolition anyway.
Now THIS is what science should be about. Less maths more actual experiments.

I agree. There's a reason the expression "looks good on paper" exists.
This is one city over. I wish I knew about it so I could have gone to see it

Read the comments, it's 9/11 conspiracy shit

The maths is absurdly important; just because it doesn't make a pretty picture it doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

I didn't say it wasn't important, I just said that it isn't everything in a study. There has to be actual experimentation taking place.

You deal realise how much math they did before, during, and after this?

Not if you can definitively prove using mathematics that the whole thing will just not work so there's no point in wasting the resources testing it

They're both important, and diminishing either hurts science as a whole.
You can't know what you're looking for in your results without maths; you can't know the maths is right without experiment.

I'm pretty sure this is what you meant to say.

Math is something i liken to how we see the physical world. We can see better with accurate math. The experiment itself is more of a vision test, and the results tell you what to look for next time.
