# The Future of Science and Mathematics

An unsigned editorial arguing that theoretical science has become increasingly PC-aided and abstract, often disconnected from experimental verification. Discusses the controversy over the red shift and expanding universe theory, limitations of quantum mechanics and weather modeling, and the claim that mathematics itself is incomplete. Presents a skeptical view of computer-assisted theoretical work.
