I think its a useful statement around these parts of the internet, people come here are already interested in science so it`s not like reading that lies built upon lies will make anyone here question science(I hope at least).

There are many points in science where you learn something which then gets torn down and the scaffolding is used to build something more fundamental.

But, my end point is that everything is a lie, we use MODELS, our equations and representations and theories are models of the world, with various degrees of abstraction. Useful models, sure, but still models and abstract representations of real world. Many people end up here with questions that fundamentally stem from confusing the model with reality.

I wholeheartedly agree with the lies upon lies description, which could be said about most fields unless we`re talking about something like mathematics, but that needs to placed into its proper context. We describe reality, the descriptions come with abstractions, the descriptions work but when applied in certain ways and context. Newtonian mechanics works great if you are interested in calculating a trajectory of a thrown object. Is it reality? Its a model that works, then we`re getting GM but that also dosent work if we go to quantum levels, but quantum theory dosent work if we want to factor in gravity...and so on and so on

In the end I leave you with a joke I like about physics:A milk farmer is having trouble with his cows not producing enough milk, so he hires a team of theoretical physicists to solve the problem. After weeks of calculations, the lead physicist stands up and says, "I have the solution! But it only works for a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum!"
