Week 3&4-Assigned Reading-Science And Philosophy
"One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science,measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it isthe most precious thing we have."-Einstein. Einstein is saying thatsometimes our best knowledge is outdated or that we really don't knowa whole lot about anything. "What I see in Nature is a magnificentstructure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that mustfill a thinking person with a feeling of humility. This is a genuinelyreligious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism." Even withall the different theories that Einstein came up with he is still notable to explain matter to the fullest. He doubted his own a abilty tofind a "complete theory"."The essential in the existence of a man likeme is what he thinks and how he thinks, not what he does or suffers."These words from Einstein basically say that through pain andsufferring is how we learn and how we understand why things happen theway that they happen.
