Science a GoGo's Home Page Forums General Discussion General Science Discussion Forum What is the ultimate aim of science?

Izzy-- Read some of Redewenuar and Samwick's posts for
A) stuff you can understand and discuss
B) Interesting ideas.

Plus there are others who have an original take on everyday ideas.

I usually only visit here, as I am not a science-y person, but my personal aim is to "find out about stuff'.

Thanks Ellis. I've got the genius tutor who doesn't want to be one anymore on ignore. I've read some Redewenuar. In fact, I look for his posts in other threads. He commented on one of my posts with a criticism and I responded. He apologized for a misinterpretation and I was thus able to see a misinterpretation of my own which I clarified. That's what I call communication but I think he got tired of my obsessive detail. He has a point there. I'll check out Samwick.

I retired from science 4 years ago and am currently pursuing digital art and reading some of the current philosophers. Art was my first love but I got tired of starving and got into science for 40 years. With technology advancing at a dizzying rate these days, it's all I can do to stay but a few years behind. And, I get tired of the stodgy old societies and white papers of yesterday's giants. That's why I haunt these forums. Most of them are saturated with people who read the occasional SciAm and become giants in their own mind. I'll lurk around a bit and see if I can contribute anything.

Appreciate the tips.

Ellis, thanks for the reference - that's done the infamous ego no end of good.


Izzy (good tag, that), I don't object to detail. Bring it on. We can always argue about it

Rede; Good to hear that. I'll be gone for a few days but when I get back, I'll be coming at you with a level of nit-picking that would put Wittgenstein to sleep.
