Sorry, but this is *not* true.

What if I own a patent for what could be the only possible way to
write a fast realtime FFT algorithm? Nobody else can write an application that does the FFT at that speed. This is science (computer science, indeed).

This is knowledge, and should be free.

Well by your logic, ALL patents (hardware and software) are invalid.

Or better, they're unjust. I guess you know that the existence of gnu/Linux and open source software in general is in danger because of them.
