Google and the End of Science

Tony T. Tiger

There is no truth

Science uses models because that is what the human brain can understand. Vast amounts of data exist everywhere. They lay there until a model can be built to hang them from for inspection. Why seek to find a cherry on an apple tree. The meaning does not bring truth, but a representation based on the approximation created by the model.

Data overload from sources like Google are not new. Since Google's data comes thru the computer pipes it can be easier to direct the flow, but does not create order on its own. Models however simple or complex are still needed to order the data in a pattern we can understand.

People are only capable of what they are designed to do.
