Re: The holy grail

Science is the attempt to explain everything. This means how everything complies with reason. So I think the ultimate goal of science would be to derive physics from logic alone. Then everything is necessarily reasonable.

Post Not Gödel

Though arguable a math, not science grail, as affirmative question to Hilbert's second problem, as vague and unobtainable a thing as the legendary Arthurian grail.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
