SCIENCE! is an exclamation, derived from Magnus Pike's spirited interjection in the Thomas Dolby song "She Blinded Me With Science," which denotes one or both of the following situations:
- a poorly written science question or a science question on an answer that is borderline science at best (science biography, the Leidenfrost effect, names of programming languages with "Codey McWhitespace invented it in 1968" type clues)
- a person with no real knowledge of science getting a science question through some kind of fraudulent play
SCIENCE! is closely related to its sub-disciplines PHYSICS! and GEOSYSTEMS!?, the latter of which is the name of an actual class at TJHSST and Wilmington Charter.
