Music provides an analogy to science always want to share and discuss with my friends.
accomplished musician, sometimes, to build a composition steeped in beauty. It is intangible, indefinable, unknown is the path that has taken her. But the result is clear:
everyone can enjoy your music. The musician can then transcribe their music on paper using a specific notation. Perhaps in centuries, the musical written language is different. The score will have a different notation, but music is the same. Music transcription is an artifice, but an important device because the musician must master to the last detail. The score represents the music, transmits, makes it comparable and reproducible. However, the emotion contained in the music and is independent of transcription.
Science tries to understand laws governing the universe and transcribe them as equations. These equations are the artifice necessary to communicate our findings to predict new phenomena, to settle our progress. Sometimes the equations, as the score, guided in part the investigation of each one of us. But the main principles, the deepest insights are a separate entity that goes far beyond its written representation. We can imagine worlds intelligent systems based on scientific knowledge different from our mathematical notation. However, both systems will agree to identify and understand the attraction of the masses, particle creation, the speed limits on them.
Science is language that is expressed, although there must necessarily be expressed in concrete language.
