I confess I didn't go very far in the sciences, but I do remember something from my grade school education: The empirical process moves from hypothesis, to observation, to theory, to experiment, to fact. (I was immediately stubborn about this as a child, in saying that there had to be observation before a hypothesis, too. Even now, I believe that was right, while qualifying that exercises of the imagination can substitute for observation.)

I talked about this some back in post 1563, I think before you were posting a bunch. Check it out and if you disagree, please let me know.

So long, Isaac. It was a good thread while it lasted.
