Traditional science assumes, for the most part, that an objective observer independent reality exists; the universe, stars, galaxies, sun, moon and earth would still be there if no one was looking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Two hundred or more years ago most people on the planet were never aware of any reality other than the one into which they were brought up.
Telescopes and microscopes bring to our view the otherwise unseen and unknown.
My feeling is that science is virtually an unexplored ground. It's very visible - more so all the time - but there's no fiction that tells us how scientists think, and they really don't think the way that other people do.
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly.
Every science consists in the coordination of facts; if the different observations were entirely isolated, there would be no science.
What is sure is that the satellite view of our world and its evolution is now a common reality.
Unlike scientism, science in the true sense of the word is open to unbiased investigation of any existing phenomena.
Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point.
