Does that mean science is not an objective method of understanding the natural world?Speakpigeon said:
Mathematical scientific theories are formal conceptual models meant to explain our perception of nature, not nature itself.
Has anyone asked Peter Higgs that question? Where did the Higgs boson come from, thin air? Who then has a true perception of Nature? God?
We are able to artificially create new elements, even those which may not exist in nature at all due to their rapid decay rate.
IMO, our maths are able to symbolically describe natural phenomena in exquisite detail. Not all of course, there is much to learn still.
