- However My Son!
- 'fact' is not a fact unless it is prescribed by a theory...in other words
- there are NO facts in science unless we prescribe one by a theory...and when
- you withdraw the theory away, all the facts attached to it disappear into the
- thin air....it is like this; if we didn't invent QM then we wouldn't have
- electrons..but, of course, if electrons are _some_ facts for you :-> then
- what would you do without QM, you would look like a fish out of pond :-)
-
- as you say, fortunately, the middle-ages are over with all their bogeys called
- - scientific-facts...:-)..now we can live happily here-after without clinging
- to some theories as if they were revealed words of the God...and also
- we don't confuse the revealed words of the God with scientific-facts....
- :-)....happy ending....:-)
