Us: Science, of course. | ||
|
||
World: But what does that even mean? | ||
|
||
Us: Ah, we are investigating what things out there in the world are doing. | ||
|
||
World: But what things? | ||
|
||
Me: Well, personally, I am constantly hassling with wavevectors in Quantum Mechanics or exotic fluids such as dark energy. | ||
|
||
World: That's cool, but how do we know these things are real? Do we actually see them? Do you touch them? | ||
|
||
Me: Hmm, not really... | ||
|
||
Us: So how do we know they are actually a THING? | ||
|
||
Me: Maybe because they seem to work just fine? | ||
|
||
World: There has been plenty of so-called THINGS in the history of science that no longer are a THING though... and folks back then thought they also worked just fine! | ||
|
||
Me: Right, right... | ||
|
||
-- And then Us all sit in contemplation during the ScientiFika and start to wonder how to make sense of this all, while the World keep a judgy eye on us. | ||

Come and join us for a quick walk on the Philosophy of Science! |
