===Status in physics=== There is a debate about the status of computation within the scientific method.<ref name=ercolessi>[http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~ercolessi/md/md/ A molecular dynamics primer] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150111014856/http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~ercolessi/md/md/ |date=2015-01-11 }}, Furio Ercolessi, [[University of Udine]], Italy. [http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~ercolessi/md/md.pdf Article PDF] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924013419/http://www.fisica.uniud.it/~ercolessi/md/md.pdf |date=2015-09-24 }}.</ref> Sometimes it is regarded as more akin to theoretical physics; some others regard computer simulation as "[[computer experiment]]s",<ref name="ercolessi" /> yet still others consider it an intermediate or different branch between theoretical and [[experimental physics]], a third way that supplements theory and experiment. While computers can be used in experiments for the measurement and recording (and storage) of data, this clearly does not constitute a computational approach.
