Science, through theory and experiment, gives the ability to detect rules and predict phenomena that hold true under set conditions; it doesn’t explain what things actually are or why they are.
It’s worth trying, but why is there an assumption that the universe is ultimately comprehensible? What if its inexplicability is the essential aspect, the prime condition for existence, that makes all things possible?
In sci-fi films and TV, why is Earth always shown aligned vertically on its axis? Isn’t there a tilt? And wouldn’t Earth be viewed from space from any angle – the continents are never shown “upside down”?
When I’m sitting still, calm and relaxed, my heart rate is about 50 beats per minute.
“Please can you recite all the digits of pi” is a type of “just a quick question."
Imagine the potential of humanity if billions of people have the opportunity to flourish within a culture of invention and curiosity.
I do a lot of wandering in circles. Occasionally I break the loop.
