How does science especially physics help us to understand what we cannot see, or touch. There are some who believe the best way to advance it is to observe the environment and then extrapolate those observations to the unobservable. Isaac Newton used this approach to derive the law of gravity by making the assumption that … Read more
History has shown that science cannot save a theoretical model that does not reflect the “reality” of current observations by randomly adding new parameters. For example when the geocentric model of planetary motion was first proposed it was a good fit to the observational data available at the time. However it became necessary to modify … Read more
Most physicists would agree that one of the primary goals of their discipline is to explain why the laws of nature are what they are. However there is very little consensus on how to achieve it. For example, there are some who believe the best way is to observe the environment and then extrapolate those … Read more
