I am a scientist dipsh_t.
All good scientists are skeptics and not full of themselves. We use theories until they break, but we are ready for most any of them to break at any time. I like it when they break!
In fact, in cosmology we are desperate for a new intuitive leap that will let us throw away so much of the crap we keep playing with now. Its cumbersome, ugly (full of squigglies), full of patches and cartoon-like simplifying assumptions...and disagreements, incoherences, inconsitenticies...
nature is beautiful, science is ugly.

For a scientist you are sure hard on science, and seemingly a poor representative of your profession.

I know what theories are, and how to use them. I'm a scientist too, remember?

Can't agree with you on science being ugly. I see it as beautiful, as is the nature it seeks to understand.
What made you so bitter?
