The Fragility of Physics
Physics has a reputation of being a uniquely “scientific” field.In other fields, you might hear of the concept of “Physics Envy” which is supposed to be a deep-seated desire of academics of other disciplines for the rigorousness and elegance of physics.Only physics, so the popular understanding goes, is truly able to abstract away from the messiness of detail and create truly beautiful and solvent models of their subject matters.Physics is thus the queen of the “hard sciences.”

Science vs. Soyence
There’s nothing necessarily wrong with science, reason, knowledge etc. To some degree, they’re fundamental for survival in this world in one way or another. But one of the more worrisome problems which have arisen since the Enlightenment, and especially in the past several years, is the fact that whenever scientific knowledge has increased, human arrogance has accelerated even faster. This isn’t a metaphysical, moral arrogance; it’s one that is more and mor … ⌘ Read more

There is a palpable difference between the universe described by many religions and the universe described by science. The former is all built from concepts rooted in human society such as father, son, judgment, commandment, obedience, sacrifice, punishment etc. The latter is built from eerie ideas such as force field, wavefunction, observable, reference frame, superposition etc. The former feels small, ordinary, familiar and manmade. The latter feels like we’re fumbling for words to describe something that fundamentally transcends ordinary human experience. 100k Stars | Hacker News
