TITLE   Pythagoras' Trousers- God, Physics and the Gender Wars
AUTHOR   WERTHEIM, Margaret
DESCRIPTION   The gendering of Science - & Physics - as 'close to God'.DARK HORSEY SAYS- Wertheim argues that the association of God with physics is age old and that from its inception physics has been a religiously inspired activity - a science based on a conception of God as a divine mathematical creator. Patriarchal sciene's mimicry of the all-male priesthood & its effects on on science's direction & nature. Additionally, Wertheim considers why it is that (male) physicists, of all people, are always likely to 'see God'. (Credentials, you see? No girls allowed.) It ain't half hot in the laboratory, Mum!
