In response to following of Steve Smith on knowledge, physics, and philosophy:
"Philosophy is about understanding, physics is about knowledge first
and understanding only insomuch as it is a part of natural
philosophy. " (smith)
I only take issue with the use of the word "knowledge". I realize what he is referring to, but I believe that knowledge encompasses the scientifically provable (measurements, etc) as well as the results of intuition, spiritual assessment, and such.
