Mother nature works in a certain way.
Science is the effort to understand how this way is or how it works
so a scientist is the one who understand or try to understand this process and the word scientific means
the correct understanding of how mother nature works.
This sounds fairly reasonable, assuming "Mother Nature" is a metaphor. So how do we know if our findings are correct?
As soon as the theory is put into practice and the practice works perfectly then we know that the findings are correct.
For working perfectly i mean work in a way that lead to solutions.
These solutions should not be understood as progress as progress doesn't exist within the physical arena.
