@masterofthetiger@theres.life Not really. Science is nothing more than an attempt to identify the patterns we perceive in useful ways. It is not and never been about some absolute truth.

A simple example is the brain in a jar philosophical argument. If we were little more than brains hooked up to a simulation as long as the rules of that simulation have some element of consistency to them then science within that artifical world would work just fine. Yet the "truths" one would infer from scientific experiments would not really be absolute truths as the world outside of the simulation may behave in ways completely unlike the simulation.

Worse yet, you cant even guarantee there is some greater reality with which you are a brain in the jar in the first place. Since whatever that reality might be, if one existed, is also unknowable.
