@freemo@Science The way I see it nature is the truth and science is an attempt for the most accurate model of that truth. Science is the modelling tool.
@aldous Science isnt about truth, truth as an idea is a human construct, not real... What science aims to do is to describe models of the real world that are useful in their ability to predict how and why things behave the way they do. Repeatability is what science is about, some people make the leap (IMO incorrectly) that this infers truth, there is no such thing as truth.
