But a science is exact to the extent that its method measures up to and is adequate to its object.

In this complex world, science, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the
human race is doing and to wherever we are going. If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science; if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.

It is only since linguistics has become more aware of its object of study, i.e. perceives the whole extent of it, that it is evident that this science can make a contribution to a range of studies that will be of interest to almost anyone.

Object
You know you turn me on
Eyes so white and legs so long
But don't try to talk to me
I won't listen to your lies
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
Sophisticated smile
You seduce in such fine style
But don't try to fool me
'cause i can see through your disguise
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
But i don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objection
To you touching me there
Object object
Object object
Object object
Object object
You know just what to do
Lick your lips
And i want you
But don't try to hold me
'cause i don't want any ties
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes
But i don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objections
To you touching me there
You're just an object object
Object object
You're just an object

I don't think the scientific method and the science fictional method are really analogous. The thing about them is that neither is really practiced very much, at least not consciously. But the fact that they are methodical does relate them.

Golden Treasure
The answer of gold is a saying you try,
That golden object may be needed afterwards.
Anybody will create a plain method,
The same methods are the plain methods.
Gold is plainly not silver, and both shine,
The method is the same, and we are the method.
To keep treasure in our gardens
Is the desire of all who are tame with riches
And wealth, the methods are similar,
They are so very similar.

My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature - science fiction is written according to the science fiction method.

LAZYMAN'S WISE PRAYER
If to that extent RICH indeed
I need not have to toil hard instead
If to that extent SHREWD indeed
I would have skipped some years instead
If to that extent BRAVE indeed
I could'nt have lost on more counts instead
If to that extent READY indeed
I should'nt have to repent now instead
If to that extent FOUGHT indeed
I ought to have won fast instead
If to that extent all B A D indeed
Better I should'nt have the right to live instead

To practice black magic you have to violate every principle of science, decency, and intelligence. You must be obsessed with an insane idea of the importance of the petty object of your wretched and selfish desires. I have been accused of being a "black magician." No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice it.

The Invisible Hole
There seems to be a phenomenon of an invisible hole
that hardly anyone else is aware of yet takes its toll.
When we seem to have misplaced or lost something
we then all feel and imagine the extent of its sting.
It may well be that our mind or memory is not up to scratch
and that we have just forgotten the whereabouts of our catch.
But when we come to think about the problem at hand
it doesn't explain the situation or helps us to understand.
I am sure that many people have experienced the same thing
who feel mystified or saddened by what their loss does bring.
Though it may only be a temporary phase we go through
it can really have a very profound effect in our life is true.
How many times in our life it happens is peculiar to say the least
yet we are left wondering at the magnitude and extent of the beast
that just makes a certain thing disappear when we don't expect it
and doesn't leave much of a clue in our mind or surroundings of it.
Could this be related at all to the legendary rift in the space-time continuum?
which some people in the frontiers of science and philosophy have touched on
because even though a search for the object concerned proves fruitless and vain
the cherished memory of it in our heart and mind causes a lot of grief and pain.
The amusing side to this situation is that when the object lost
sometimes reappears after a period of time despite the cost,
in a particular place and we quickly recognise where it must have been
though to our memory of how it originally got there is not so very keen.
