🔎 Science is our remarkable but imperfect attempt to explain reality
Science is a system of understanding created by humans, and as such it is contained within reality. Reality doesn’t follow science, but itself only.
“Science is our remarkable but imperfect attempt to explain reality. Quantification is exact not into reality, but into itself.”
When we observe or measure something, the very act of doing so alters the observed reality. In some ways, our measurements and observations, even when conducted scientifically, are nothing but our “imperfect” attempts to quantify reality.
