We build scientific theories to organize and manipulate the world, to reduce phenomena into manageable units.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.
Scientists have wonderfully explained the organization of the universe, but that's really all it claims to do, and I think it does that very successfully.
The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.
Let us advance science to create a better world for all.
We are a species that must try to impose and find systems - systems of thought, ways of organizing and categorizing reality.
A unified theory would put us at the doorstep of a vast universe of things that we could finally explore with precision.
You make observations, write theories to fit them, try experiments to disprove the theories and, if you can't, you've got something.
Many, many, many small moves of many kinds can bring a way to manage change. The theory can come later.
The scientific perspective of the world, especially the living world, inexorably impresses on us a dynamic picture of the world of entities and structures involved in continuous and incessant change and in process without ceasing.
