Computation gives you a theoretical model and nice pretty curves. They still need to be considered academic.
Running actual experiments validates models and refines them. But it also introduces discrepancies which force you to improve laboratory procedures, develop more refined equipment, or you discover a new fundamental truth which explains the discrepancy.
"Why the frick is Uranus so weird?"
do theoretical math
"There's probably another planet out there messing up its orbit due to gravity and shit, and mathematically it must be X far away and by Z mass."
"Yep there it is"
That's why you combine theory and practice.

Another r-slur who just handwaves "there's actual experiments which are different from theory because they just are okay????"

If actual experiments differ from theory, that just means the theory needs to be updated.
Some stuff in physics matches REALLY well, particularly quantum physics. Like Feynman would always brag that for a few key quantities, the theoretical value and experimental values only differed by like 0.0000000000001%.

That's still stuck in this same r-slurred mindset that "actual experiments" have priority over theory, simulation, etc. Scientists question ur assumptions instead of accepting dogma uncritically all the time challenge IMPOSSIBLE

No it's not, it's just clear fact.
The purpose of theory is to predict reality. If it doesn't match the reality we can directly measure, then it won't match the reality we can't (or simply don't want to for cost etc reasons).

I don't even know what you're pissed about at this point tbh bb. I never said computer simulations are worthless. In fact, if they match experimental results closely, that means you can extend the computer simulations to predict what will happen in reality. Which is really the whole purpose of science.

STEMcels rly are low IQ r-slurs wth is ur reading comprehension when did I ever imply u said simulations are useless???

tbh at this point I think you're just r-slurred, although that's unsurprising since it's very in character for u
