There are three facets to what we call science. The most obvious is the Practice of science which involves how we do science. Next is the Philosophy of science which addresses why we do science. Finally, there is the Principle of Science which addresses why we are able to do what we do in science. The literature addresses the first two but is silent on the third. However, the answers to the problems that vex us the most can only be found in a review of the third facet of science. The first two facets focus on data that we positively gather from the world around us. The third focuses on the same data but from a different perspective that does not depend on human intellect.
