If you want to know how computers work, do electrical engineering. If you want to know how electricity works, do physics. If you want to know how physics works, do mathematics. If you want to know how mathematics works, too bad, best you can do is think about the fact it works in philosophy.

Everything is philosophy until it becomes science. Unless it's anything to do with politics then it just remains philosophy forever.

Science is a subdiscipline of philosophy.
