Science
miracle line1
Science is nothing but rationalizing the life in the form of theories and hoping that the realities of the true universe coincide with the imaginary universe defined by these theories. That is, science is an art to build an integrated, consistent and FICTITIOUS universe.

- From the Schrödinger's Cat  novel by Alev Alatli -
(Schrödinger'in Kedisi - I. Kitap Kabus published by Everest Yayinlari)

Last Word on Science
The last word is from Yunus Emre, told about 750 years ago:

Ilim, ilim bilmektir,
Ilim, kendin bilmektir.
Sen, kendin bilmezsin,
Ya nice okumaktir.
Science is to know what science is...
Science is to know what a human is...
If you don't have an idea about this,
Then, no need for books, for studies...
