Difference between Science and Scientific realism

Science vs. Scientific realism

R. P. Feynman, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol.1, Chaps.1,2,&3. Scientific realism is the view that the universe described by science is real regardless of how it may be interpreted.

Similarities between Science and Scientific realism

Science and Scientific realism have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Albert Einstein, Atom, Classical physics, Constructive empiricism, Electromagnetism, Instrumentalism, Metaphysics, Observation, Quantum mechanics, Rationalism, Special relativity, Theory, Thomas Kuhn, Willard Van Orman Quine.

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.

Rationalism

In philosophy, rationalism is the epistemological view that "regards reason as the chief source and test of knowledge" or "any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification".

Special relativity

In physics, special relativity (SR, also known as the special theory of relativity or STR) is the generally accepted and experimentally well-confirmed physical theory regarding the relationship between space and time.

Theory

A theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking.

Thomas Kuhn

Thomas Samuel Kuhn (July 18, 1922 – June 17, 1996) was an American physicist, historian and philosopher of science whose controversial 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was influential in both academic and popular circles, introducing the term paradigm shift, which has since become an English-language idiom.

Willard Van Orman Quine

Willard Van Orman Quine (known to intimates as "Van"; June 25, 1908 – December 25, 2000) was an American philosopher and logician in the analytic tradition, recognized as "one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century." From 1930 until his death 70 years later, Quine was continually affiliated with Harvard University in one way or another, first as a student, then as a professor of philosophy and a teacher of logic and set theory, and finally as a professor emeritus who published or revised several books in retirement.
