1. Knowledge Questions

What is the role of imagination and intuition in the sciences?

How is the scientific method used in art?

How do we distinguish science from pseudoscience?

When performing experiments, what is the relationship between a scientist’s expectation and their perception?

How does scientific knowledge progress?

2. Resources

Is there room for the perfect biryani?

Why the Bastardization of the Scientific Method Is so Dangerous

3. Art and Chemistry

Is this art? Who decides what constitutes art?

If science can be used to produce art, does this improve the realism of the piece? But if a scientific experiment or chemical reaction can be interpreted as art, does it become abstract, which can be very different to realism?

Is it art or is it science?

Do scientists have a hard time understanding art?

What is Scientific Illustration?

Art as a tool for science

So the sources above argue that science and art are interconnected. But why do they think this way? Which WOK are they using to develop this view? Moreover, who disagrees with it and why?

Perhaps science and art need to be separated at times.

Perhaps scientists are restricted more than artists so prefer to there is a clear distinction between the two fields.

Perhaps a scientist believes that their education and qualifications should qualify them above artists, so that they are only scientists.

But equally, perhaps an artist sees themself as being more creative than a scientist too.
