so are you saying that things we call “scientific fact” could
be an artefact of our consciousness only?

How about this... our minds are too feeble to understand
physical reality. And that everyone lives by some type of faith
or trust in some”thing” outside of their sensorium, whether they
acknowledge it or not.

Ding! We have a winner!

What is at the core of the wave/particle duality? The fact that photons (and every other fundamental particle) is something else we still don’t grasp.

But we grasp some of it, and we’re grasping more. That’s what real science is about.

Are we 90% of the way to understanding how reality works (from a scientific view, not a theological one)? Some think so. I disagree. We’re maybe 10% of the way there.

But for most of history, we have been less than 1% of the way there...
