Heat Treating, art or science?

[Tai Goo]

Artist are also engineers. They engineer art!

We engineer art knives (handmade knives).

Any artist I know,... wears many hats. This is the nature of art.

"Scientists" also wear many hats,... but science only wears one.

I guess that was my whole point.

Cheers!

I have a lot of friends who are... "religious" about science. Science- especially 19th century style pseudo-pop science- is their way of narrowing down the world and trying to keep it 'safe'.

Science as constraint, without the sense of wonder, curiosity, and exploration.

I think for this side of the discussion, heat treating is a difficult area to make any points about it. It's a broader discussion (and one I never tire of having!)

So, I agree with you- science as a toolkit is a big, huge, massive bonus. Science as blinders or "religion" --- not so much.

I think we are living in an age where science is expanding it's traditional boundaries. In the old days people didn't consider things like riding a bicycle, baking cookies, and machine operating sciences,... but a lot of people sure seem to nowadays. I heard something once on a science show that some scientists want to do expand science into the supernatural realm... not sure how that would work?

Will "knifeology" actually become a true science someday?

... I wonder how far science can go without losing it's identity, if it hasn't already?
