 Which side are you?

The scientists cannot yet even agree on whether

the job of science is to figure out how the world
really is ,
or whether it is to build models of
as Einstein believed – to reach
the world and to come up with our
some ultimate truth that is waiting
best about reality, a reality that we
out there to be discovered -
may never truly know.
-

Which side are you and why?

 It is not just another way of looking
at the world

Nor is it just another cultural

ideology or belief system

It is the only way we learn about

nature through trial and error,
experimentation, and observation.
