A cat whose insatiable curiosity keeps me looking and questioning

How did you find PF?

Searched Google for a place to discuss philosophy and science

I think the Enlightenment actually brought more darkness to science than light, using a few sparks to give the appearance of substance and intelligence.
These sparks have led to a number of theories that are not beeb proven yet becoming foundational to other knowledges. I know we need models to help us begin, but we must be careful on what we base them.

With that said I like to challenge and learn through this challenge, shaking and rethinking. So chatting with smart people like yourself who are similarly minded is where I believe I can grow.

So I hope to chat challenge think and re-think and grow with all of you amazing people.

Without some examples, I don't think I agree with this. Be advised that we don't discuss philosophy at this site, so if that's what you're curious about, your curiosity won't be satisfied here.

You can can return to the Dark Ages, if you want. I prefer enlightenment.

Ok i will look elsewhere... but you are very misinformed if you think quantum physics does include philosophy.

My comment had nothing to do with quantum physics, but rather, your remark in post #1.

There is no philosophy in any of the quantum physics textbooks that I have. It's true that you may philosophise about quantum physics - as you can about any branch of science.

The philosophy of science is a different academic subject - separate from science itself. In the same way that literary criticism is very different from creative writing.

We focus on science here, partly because questions relating to the philosphy of science can never be resolved by experiment, and essentially boil down to a matter of opinion and gut feeling.
