Philosophy of Science

 
To say that something is complicated can be easy. To say that something is easy may be complicated.

What is easy can be understood. Science means understanding, and so the objective of science is to make things easy. 

This connects to the observation (Arthus Clarke's 1st Law) that if someone (an elderly scientist) says that something is impossible (no solution possible), it is usually wrong, while if someone says that something is possible (there is a solution), then it is usually right.

    Very beautiful and true! But this is precisely philosophy!

    But your blog is about math and science.
