Modern Physics is completely abstract and goes against “classical” common sense and what our senses tell us. And it keeps getting weirder and more abstract by the decade.
I wonder if it ever occurs to them that our perceptions of the world, including a mathematical equation to explain a physical entity, are not real in the physical sense.
I agree.
I've been following this issue for over ten years now and there seems to be some philosophical implications (regarding the above) that are having an impact on our society. It's the abstract, and peoples unquestioning of the uncertainty that modern Physics/science promotes as truth.
Science has transitioned from a material/reductionist exercise to a purely theoretical one that embraces ideas that are wholly unprovable.
The popularity of a show like "Ancient Aliens" is astounding. Interestingly enough, the show seems to avoid "Darwinian Evolution" in favor of an "Otherworldly" explanation.
The "Embrace of Uncertainty" in science extends into our culture and can be seen in their politics. They have virtually "NO Foundation" for belief in anything other than uncertainty itself.
