Those so-called researchers who went mad, turned into lunatics, and screamed that science and physics didn't exist fundamentally had no idea what science really was.
In their eyes, they had already turned science into a kind of faith, a mysterious theory, something shackled by rules and frameworks, something just like magic. Fundamentally, these people had no idea what science really was.
Science, as it was called, meant turning everything unknown into something knowable. It was an ordered system of knowledge built on testable explanations and predictions about the forms, structures, and other aspects of objective things. It was knowledge that had been systematized and formalized.
Its subject was objective phenomena, its content consisted of formalized scientific theories, and its form was language, including both natural and mathematical languages.
You could say that as long as something existed objectively, it was scientific. Anything that existed and could be understood was scientific.
Even so-called idealism was fundamentally a kind of science. It was materialist.
Take an idealist power system, for example. If someone's emotions or enlightenment reached a certain level, they could wield incredible power. That seemed idealist, but fundamentally, it was materialist.
Because their emotions were a certain way, they gained a certain kind of power. Wasn't that a rule?
Fundamentally, that was materialism.
True idealism was pure fantasy. Idealism held that consciousness was primary and matter secondary, that consciousness was the origin of the world, that consciousness came first and matter followed, and that consciousness determined matter.
If the world really worked that way, then idealism would in fact be materialism, because the world really would work like that: consciousness would determine matter, and consciousness would come first.
But reality was that matter came first and consciousness followed. Matter determined everything. The idealist position was pure fantasy. That was true
