The most fundamental concept in physical reality we generally refer to as Nature is truth. Nature’s truths are independent of our existence. Some of Nature’s truths are readily apparent, others are hidden by obscurity. Some truths are before us yet await our emergence from ignorance or bias. Pure science is the pursuit of understanding Natute’s truths. True science has no political agenda, is not about corroborating preconceived notions, and does not necessarily require conformance with group think or so called “settled science”. From a position of partial understanding, there are many plausible paths scientists may take towards a goal of more complete knowledge. There is utility in stepping back, examining what is truly fundamental, then using it to optimize the process, perhaps going in a different direction.
