Perspectives from Science

Many consider science to be pure truth but yet much of what we think of as Science is theoretical rather than factual. Observation and repeatable results are key elements of Science. Life is not as precise as we like to envision and is not necessarily readily measurable.

In our considerations of Science, we look at the Theories which somehow have become considered as Fact but are not provable. Let’s consider a few scientific “truths” and decide just how accurate our perspectives might be.

We will also have articles detailing the vastness of the infinitesimal and the expansive. Science does have truths but there are limits to quantitative analysis.

The following links are connections to articles relevant to how you may interpret your information.

SCIENCE

Is it art, theory or fact? How much proof do we expect or how much does popular consensus mean to our acceptance of information to make it fact?
