Science doesn’t reveal reality directly.
It builds models.
In this episode of The Thinking Behind Reality, we explore why all scientific understanding comes through representations—maps, equations, and frameworks that work within limits.
Scientific models aren’t perfect descriptions of reality. They’re useful tools that improve over time. Truth in science is contextual, provisional, and refined through evidence.
Understanding reality means understanding the models we use to describe it.
If this way of thinking resonates, follow the show for more reflections on science and knowledge.
