A reminder of how little we understand the world
"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them." (William Lawrence Bragg)Science is usually pointed to as a paradigm of cold, hard reason. But, as anyone who's ever studied the philosophy of science will attest, scientific theories — just like all human theories — are theory-laden.
This humorous xkcd cartoon is a great reminder of that.
