发帖数: 229 | 28 There is foundational difference between traditional science and
computer science. Traditional science is related to nature and tools,
(tools are somethings about how to transform one kind of power to another.)
but computer science is related to artifacts. It is man-made scenario,

attempt to meet artifact's needs.
Thus it is hard to say if there is any foundamental problems in computer
sciences. It is mostly related to tradeoff.

That's a traditional description of science. But are you saying
computers are not a part of the objective world? CS does study
the objective properties and laws of automatic computing systems.
If what you mean is computers are built by humans, but only those
naturally formed phenomena are the subjects of science, then this
would become a word game, since I could argue that humans were
evolved naturally anyway, why the creation of humans cannot be
regarded as the second-order creation of nature.

: CS 不是科学，它不反映客观世界的规律和本质。
: 既然不是科学，CS自身没有永恒的理论（象数学 物理那样持久的真理性），所以没有能持

: 作为技术，CS更新非常快，既然没有理论的前后承接性，所以就更象奇技淫巧。所以经验

: There is foundational difference between traditional science and
: computer science. Traditional science is related to nature and tools,
: (tools are somethings about how to transform one kind of power to another.)
: but computer science is related to artifacts. It is man-made scenario,
: and tool development does not attempt to utilize nature power, just
: attempt to meet artifact's needs.
: Thus it is hard to say if there is any foundamental problems in computer
: sciences. It is mostly related to tradeoff.

What I am saying is that CS has its "science" side. You may not know this
because you only looked at its "engineering" side. You can read some
introductory texts on theoretical computer science.
The theory side of CS is just as beautiful (and lasting) as mathematics.
