    That doesn’t make any sense. Anything involving math is relatively easy because there’s only one right answer. A lot of people have this backwards because they have shitty math education and seem to think higher maths are akin to some kind of alchemy.

      Hard science as in “has a right answer”, as opposed to a soft science that is more subjective.

      I’m not referring to difficulty.

        Great. I’m not referring to your ideas. I’m referring to popular understanding.
