How does science work when inventing a computer?

Answer 1

This is a very specific beach of science, known a computer science. It could easily be

argued more math goes into this than science. Most of this branch is composed of

computer language and programming, little actual "blow stuff up with bubbly mixtures"

science goes into inventing computers.

====================================

Answer #2:

A vital component of true science is collaboration, including the publication and

distribution of each investigator's results. Consequently, a necessary step in the

process of inventing a computer would be researching all relevant publications,

patents, and prior art. This step would inform you clearly that the computer had

already been invented.

Along the way, you would also learn to stay away from people who think that

"blowing stuff up with bubbly mixtures" is science, as they can do you nothing

but harm.
