Why do they call it computer science?
It's not about computers and it's not a science.

In the past, mathematicians would look at their equations and try to understand it, unlike science which looked at the real world, not just equations that people made up. Programs are made up, they don't exist as physical electrons or atoms. If you create a brand new language like Haskell or Lisp, you could then create a million other languages from these languages - physics studies finite physical laws that already exist, not new physics that people make up in their heads. For example, ruby was made up by someone. It doesn't exist physically but exists as information. If anything, computing science is related more to Information theory than any other part of science.

Computer science is not abstract bull shit, computer science is the study of computers (cpu's, memory, transistors). Computing science is the abstract bullshit.
