Abstract

There are many things, ideas, and entities that we encounter every single day that can be described as vague, that is, one cannot precisely classify them as members of a specific class of objects. Although many hold the opinion that vagueness is either a deficiency of spoken languages or something that exists merely because we do not have all relevant details, a third group of people assume that vagueness is something real. This simply means that objects, including living beings, are vague. But if vagueness is a real thing, why do people ignore it when trying to explain a natural phenomenon, a syndrome, etc.? The reason is that people have a deep respect for pure, abstract objects with exact properties. But this has a negative effect on our understanding of our cosmos. Therefore, we investigate how vagueness really affects exact sciences and how the incorporation of vagueness will improve our understanding of our world.
