<However if you were educated your whole life that there was a reason for everything in science you would take that view to the greater world. People who study the Arts and liberall fields are tougt there are no bounderies, no answers just more question's. >
More's the pity.
New Zealand is now run by a swarm of arts people who have little concept of determinism and have no idea that the world operates totally on deterministic principles, which are, for the most part, too complex for our feeble brains to comprehend but we have no choice but to try to penetrate the fog of ignorance in which we are all immersed. But engineers are able to pin down some deterministic photons and make CDMA work. Engineers know that criminals in jail won't commit crimes = another deterministic principle. The arty types think if you give them anger management courses, they'll suddenly turn into tame domestic pets.
I don't think there is a single engineer or scientist in the current New Zealand government. Arty types might have great parties, but they won't make a RadioOne system work [or much of anything else for that matter]. Notice how the most successful companies are NOT run by arty dreamers but by Irwin Jacobs, $ill Gates and their ilk.
There is indeed a reason for everything. Unfortunately, in governments and the arts world, the reason for much of what happens is that the people doing the running of the world have a very limited attachment to reality and make up fantasies of what SHOULD be because they want it to be, rather than what is.
So, we have the NZ government funding magnets on fuel lines to increase fuel consumption and cut pollution. Truly!! I am not joking. We have a thousand wacky ideas every day, with no basis for any rational expectation of success other than wishful thinking.
If the arts people would learn that there ARE boundaries, laws of nature and objective reality, such as the edge of a cliff, we might fall off fewer of them. Engineers and scientists learn where the boundaries are, then find ways of getting past them. Hence, QUALCOMM was able to breach the laws of physics and create the magic of mobile CDMA.
Other scientists are creating the magic of CDNA [TM] [cyber deoxyribonucleic acid] by which we will reinvent ourselves in the way we WANT to be, not the way the absurd, arbitrary and mindless biological world made us [a kind of smart chimpanzee with less fur, more table manners but plenty of genetic diseases to ensure a difficult life and an early and unpleasant demise for the carriers].
