I believe that Art is most similar to science. Because science’s approach, is mostly like art. We see things, we observe things because they appear to be drawing us out. We feel attracted to them. That is just like art, we do things because we like them. In making hypotheses, we choose the one that is simplest, because it is most ‘exquisite’. When we do experiment, we feel excited, of the possible new founding or inventing of things new to humanity. Exactly the feelings of an artist when they are painting, or making a sculpture. We then make laws and theories, which changes over and over again, just like art does all the time.
Whilst art is the most similar to science, I believe that Area of Knowledge that is least similar to science is Mathematics. I firmly believe that mathematics is the area of knowledge that is completely made by human to help their lives. Mathematics may have a very large influence over the other areas of knowledge, but the invention mathematics itself is independent of other factor. In other words, mathematics can be said to be exact. Because we, humans, are the one to invent mathematics. We create mathematics, we know how it is fairly well. So the things we know involving mathematics, is kind of absolute. For example, you could be a globetrotter, try to search for someone or something that could prove that 1 plus 1 doesn’t equal 2, and you will find nothing. Mathematics is kind of absolute, whence there is nothing absolute in science. It is completely dependent on nature. If nature changes, or one of the scientist’s assumptions about nature proved to be wrong, then all of the science we have built over time on that base will break down.
