AHAHAHAHAHAHA, What do you think scientists do when they formulate hypothesis', what are they doing when they integrate their results within the current frameworks? and what of the special sciences? Science is not superior, and arts is not inferior, because they are not contradictory or competing in any real way. Science and the Arts share a symbiotic relationship. They are inseparable. Its like trying to dychotomize physics and mathematics, futile!

Lol wow she said 'know the concept difference between impotence and chastity'. All joke aside art and science both mutually attempt to understand/imitate life.
