Yo, how about we start including short definitions for some of these more obscure terms?

Anandamide -- a cannabinoid produced within the body, part of the endocannabinoid signaling system. THC attaches to the same receptors.

Google is not a science word. It is a stock market word and company that seeks world domination and is in competition with Facebook to control human destiny.

Stick to science.

Planimeter



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter

I methodically do whatever i can to obstruct the world domination of facebook, apple, google and amazon.

We must create our own scientific society company actually and condemn human stupidity to the deathbed of history forever. Yes we can, we will and it will be lovely.

The Horizon of the soul of tomorrow is born today.

PS: Funny enough today planimeter can be possibly simulated/replicated with a smart phone taking a picture of the surface of interest. The only difference is that in scientific society nobody is milking you for $1000 per year in order to offer you services that actually only are worth 250 or something like that in real work/energy and resources. The above companies are about milking an addicted planet camouflaged as services that lead to progress.

Can "googling" (slang word for searching the internet) be a method of doing science?

No. Massive amounts of websites with supposed information is not science. It is just massive amounts of information with no proper distillation. Like women who talk incessantly about mostly nothing and/or everything.

Consilience.

In its narrower usage it refers to demonstrating something with multiple methods of proof or measurement, especially from different disciplines.

The word is also the title of a book by E. O. Wilson about the integration of different disciplines. For example, evidence from both fossils and genetics are creating a consilience of understanding of evolution. The combining and synthesis of great bodies of knowledge define the intellectual history of our time.
