1) I think physics, chemistry, and mathematics are "fake" sciences in that they do not study the natural world, but rather, study simplified mathematical models about it.
Hmmm. I'm curious to know what kind of definition of science you have that excludes physics and chemistry (mathematics isn't a science and has never been defined as one).
What is
the natural world in your opinion? Does it exclude the things studied by physicists and chemists?
And can you give me an example of a science that doesn't depend on simplified models of the natural world?
