ergg... my post didnt post so here goes....again

I think that there is a reality despite what Professor Grobstein says. reality exists independently of our observations or interpretations. There has to first be a reality for there to be a something for us to perceive. i think objects in teh world have many properties that are not all accessible to us due to limiting our faculties of perception, but this does not mean that reality doesn't exist. reality exists, but we may never see it in its entirety. as of now we only have small windows with obstructed views to complete reality.

Both science and literature endeavor to crystalize or capture reality with language  through words and numbers. They do it in the same way through experimentation and observations, methodology and creativity, and building one previous works of their field's predecessors; they just do it in different styles.
