I always preferred Dr. Feynman’s approach to physics. Consolidate all your observations and distill them into the most concise, mathematically elegant set of statements you can that are both internally consistent and useful for making predictions or generalizations about the behavior of the system of interest. But leave philosophy to the philosophers.
