General respect level: physics or math?

[Azael]

Lol I reckon mathwonk would have won the Funniest Member prize if he didnt win the math won :p btw Azael, I never actually said a mathematician would be able to take over a physicists perfectly, just better so than a physicist could take over a mathematicians, pretty much what matt grime said.

Lets just all agree that, mathematicians and/or physicists represent the highest level of intellectualism, rather than say, chemists or one who professes in literature?

Then I confess I read your posts wrong and I apologise. My bad. Always hard to tell on the net what someone really means.

I love this thread.

By the way, I know a different version of the 'opening joke':

Biologists think they are biochemists,
Biochemists think they are Physical Chemists,
Physical Chemists think they are Physicists,
Physicists think they are Gods,
And God thinks he is a Mathematician.
