“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein
It is commonly said that it is practically impossible to make inferences from the human senses in order to describe what science actually “is”. On the other hand, science can make predictions based on observation. These prognoses are, in many cases, useful for the society or for the individual using them .
For example, the newtonian physics, and in more extreme cases, the theory of relativity, help us predict the phenomenon beginning with the effect that a poll ball in motion has on another one and ending with the trajectory of spaceships and satellites. Social sciences allow us to foresee (for the time being with limited accuracy) things like economic turbulences. They also enable us to understand better the human behaviour, to produce serviceable models for the society and, in the meantime, to approach more empirically the governmental policies.
Together, chemistry and biology have transformed our capacity to use and foretell chemical and biological reactions and scenarios. Lately, these separated scientific disciplines have been used in conjunction to produce more effective models and implements.
“We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, not all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” Maria Montessori
