Scientific method is the process. Science itself includes the study and compendium of understandings, based on a belief system that includes shared understandings just like mathematics. The foundation of these are philosophical beliefs that we can know and understand these things. For example, on a metaphysical level, if the world around us were a simulation, then science could provide understandings about that simulated universe, but not about that which is simulating it.
- squidbeak 11mo agoThis I'm afraid is rubbish. Scientific proofs categorically don't depend on philosophical beliefs. Reality is measurable and the properties measured don't care about philosophy.
- weltensturm 11mo ago> Reality is measurable Heisenberg would disagree.
- squidbeak 11mo agoAre you arguing that the uncertainty principle derives from philosophy rather than math?
