Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?


Measurements are useful to verify specifications and identify any underlying issues that might be a concern. Test tones are used to show how equipment performs below audible levels but how music performs at listening levels is the deciding criteria. In that regard science fails miserably.

Why is it so?

"It’s not so much that Science has been proven, "wrong", but: that it’s moved on, in so many areas."

You are right for sure.... And my Goethe quote say the same thing....Science is not a decree someone can use against spirit, astrologers, God, or magicians.... Science is an aspect of the travel of consciousness looking for truth and experiments and reason engrossed by creativity because reason without creativity is a dead body.... Science is not a mere word used in audio forum to justify blind test where blind test has no real usefulness : in your home or small personal audio laboratory.....

In a hundred continuous experiments i never used " organized" blind test, only my own accidental or improvisezed blind test....We are audio enthusiasts not marketers trying to use blind test to sell a drug or a dac, nor zealot Randi disciple trying to debunk their claims...Nobody need statistic to create an hi-fi system....(By the way only an idiot or a showman like Randi can offer money prize to debunk psychic faculties, they are all over the place and history illustrate it with plenty of examples but zealots dont like history because history always destroy dogmas)




Life is not simple save for simplistic mind....

Rodman you battle with zealots not scientists...

There exist in history example of religious heart with very scientific mind and also of atheist and materialist with zealot mind....

Q.M. killed materialism in 1925...

And any human perception involved Q.M. effect and life in his more basic working like photosynthesis work only because Q.M.


No science today is able to explain hearing.... We know many facts but none of our maps explain reality.... Save for transhumanist or simplistic mind confusing spirit/brain/and A.I together or conflate consciousness/"matter"/ and algorithm...

The least possible philosophical position today is a form of idealism or panpsychism...Bernado Kastrup is easy for materialist to read i recommend it.... Cassirer or Goethe are not for too simplistic mind Alas!...

Mine (idealism) was inspired from mathematics all my life...Not the mathematic technology of A.I. for sure.... 😊😊





Quantum mechanics did not kill materialism if you think it did then try a simple experiment. Try walking through a brick wall. Quantum mechanics is not fully understood and to continue to fall back on, " well what about QM " is lazy thinking to say the least.

What you hear in your room from your stereo and all the adjustments and tweaks has more to do with psychology than Quantum mechanics. Constantly posting vague references to QM without identifying what exactly it has to do with your perception of sound is really just useless. I'll leave you to wallow in your psychobabble, I find it tiresome.

djones51,
Agreed.

The amount of pseudoscientific thinking in this hobby is tiresome, isn't it?

All we hear is placebo if not blind tested  and walking against a wall is the proof of material reality against Q.M. interpretation...   
😊

No answer is needed....I will not post any article about wall and Q.M. save if you ask for it and i will even explain it to you because it is a complex matter ....

You are not tiresome... I smile....But like stand up comics repeating  these 2 mantras above make you tiresome at the end...
