A new argument for scientific realism

Comments (6)

1. I have no problem at all with “science is real”. But when I am in the midst of a very good (or very bad) dream, all the observation and science sure seems real there too. Will I wake up yet again? What is “real”? Just one of those pesky observer effects, I’m sure. Could be that your life is just a poorly written Philip K. Dick novel.

2. Seeing a pop band quote Carnap brings a smile to my face. 🙂

   1. But quoting Carnap in a song defending scientific realism brings a grin to mine 😀

3. So why do so many people multiply science by i?

   1. They want to have their pi and eat it too.

      1. But e(at) raised to the power of i times pi equal -1 thus leading to a lot of negativity.
