Why science can never be the thing it is meant to be

According to our current bias, which we believe to be objective, science is the search for knowledge and its application with the aim to acquire understanding of the natural world by following a methodology based on evidence.

In the light of the above definition scientific methodology should include the following properties:

·         Objective observation backed by measurement and data

·         Evidence

·         Experimenting with the purpose to test the hypothesizes

·         Repetition

·         Analysis and assessment

Now as you can see, all the activities that have to imply a scientific methodology are based on human perception, even if this perception is backed with some kind of “objective data” from devices or apparatus of measurement, because these same devices and apparatus were invented exactly according to our theories, we derived from our so-called “objective observations”. So, to find the real truth about science we have to delve deeper into the truth of human perception. We all can already agree that our entire world is shaped by our five senses with the help of our mental faculties, but we can also easily say that mental derivatives that are not backed by the five senses seem to be ignored and labeled as not scientific or as fantasies. Having mentioned that, I would like to make a brief investigation all together upon the qualities and limits of our perceptions. Let us think of a blind man who has no means of sight, all his dimensional perception would be limited to the touch point of objects and because of this his entire theory about the world would be entirely different from the one of a man whose whole equipment of senses is intact. This example would have to be sufficient to give an insight that no perception could be objective or otherwise said unbiased, even if we speak of a group perception or so. If you dare to acquire more info about perceptions please read the book “Tertium Organum”, P.D.Ouspensky. This conclusion makes us think that science is just a result of a human consensus and thus in this context all the other attributes of science loose its meaning.
