There's a new kid on the block, a subject that can revolutionize humanity's understanding of reality, while being completely rational and logical, and scrupulously avoiding faith and mysticism. It's the long-awaited replacement for science.
Only one subject can take over from science and that is the subject that is already at the core of science and gives it all of its power and success, namely mathematics. Science without mathematics is unthinkable. Mathematics without science suffers from no deficiency at all. Science is irrelevant to mathematics, while mathematics defines science. The great mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences." If mathematics is the queen, why do we need the pawns at all?
