  Physics ≠ Computer Science

    Can’t have computer science without physics.

      I’m not entirely sure of that. You can’t have comp sci without algebra and potentially calculus. I could see a society that developed all three fields before they codified Physics

        How do you have computer science without calculus? Calculus is literally necessary for computer science, otherwise it’d just be like… shitty statistics with a little programming

        Do you really think people could make programmable microchips and processing units before they figured out physics?

      Sure you can. Physics is describing what is, computer science is building what could be

      The two things require very little overlap. Even physics systems in video games don’t use real physics - it just feels better when you fudge it
