Ha ha, no my friend, there is only science! That's the definition of science.

Yes KevWind, this is a very fundamental principle of physics and mathematics. You have to frequency-transform the string's audio signal (sounds complex but it's a standard procedure), multiply it by the graphs shown in this thread, and then back-transform to an audio signal. That will give you the sound of that string as if it were mounted on the guitar that produced the graph.
This is the way they add reverb to audio files. You go to a large church, record the reverb of a short click, and then you can use that recording to add the church's acoustics and reverb to any audio recording made anywhere else.
