Comment on I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that...
Zwiebel@feddit.org 4 months agoI like the word “model”, I think it’s a better fit even. We’re modeling reality. Some models turn out to be shit, while others are well tested giving confidence that they mimic reality well.

All models are shit. Some of them are useful tho
Like my model of fecal matter.
Every model is wrong. Some are useful.
Yeah I like that.
I use “theory” for theoretical things, like theoretical physics and math, that can be proven (in a mathematical way).
I use the word “model” for practical things, like practical physics. Models don’t need to be proven, but their accuracy can be more or less helpful, depending on the context.
Yes I agree entirely.

But isn’t model used differently in different disciplines?
