It's not proven?<br /><br />I think we are also closing in on a ceiling in science, toward the end of possible description, mathematical formulas (describing "by and large" a given phenomenon) and so on.<br /><br />Models too add description, reality by a bigger sphere Venn diagram onto a smaller sphere of reality, at least in terms of certain aspects they are supposed to describe.Dr. Lukas F.

Thus, seeing "features/laws of nature" become properly expressed is a matter of writing into eternity. Therefore, Confirmation is stronger than what is popularly written because the experiments/discoveries should describe something fundamental.Dr. Lukas F.
