This to me is the perfect description of why Science IS NOT Mathematics.

Mathematics is a provably correct logical model of what we think the world should be.

Science is a description of what the world is. (Or rather, Science is the work involved in making sure reality and theory agree - most practitioners unfortuanately try to make reality agree with theory, rather than the other way round :-)
