Science is to "reality", what music theory is to music

Science is fun. It's observation at its finest. But when we observe something, it changes. So it's still all an illusion. True knowing comes from silence within and surrendering. Science seems to seek to control. Hypothesize. Predict. There will always be more to measure, the more we zoom in or out. It's not real.....this is my 2 sats. I know they aren't worth much yet.

I try mostly to keep philosophy out of the picture when doing my science.

For a while, I did not, and it made it really hard to do science.

E.g.:

  • somewhere deep down, I know that, based on science, there is probably no free will... but the mere fact of deciding one day, for myself, there is free will, made my life much more joyful and my scientific endeavours more meaningful.
  • when doing quantum physics, it's all about probabilities. There are all those fun interpretations of many-worlds, we live in a simulation, etc... but for my day-to-day science, it's better to just use the probabilities as tool to make predictions. It works, so that's enough for me.

Keep these posts coming, 2 sats are worth much than 0, and one day, 2 sats will be worth 10x ;)
