@ghostlyeleanor At the same time, physical law really doesn't care what politics we have. We fill the air with CO2, the earth gets hotter. I mix the right chemicals together with some Pt then I get a coupling rxn.
Sure, there is lots of politics in what to study, and what to do with the information, can't deny that, but if the actual science itself is political you are't doing science.
(No, I don't count social science as science.)
