Science is uniquely distinguished from other human practices: it is the only activity in which the constraints of reality have brought to the quest for deep answers an effective consensus across all the variations that in other respects divide the human species.
Science is built upon facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science that a heap of stones is a house.
Science is based on experiment, on a willingness to challenge old dogma, on an openness to see the universe as it really is. Accordingly, science sometimes requires courage at the very least the courage to question the conventional wisdom.

 Scalia and the Intent of Law, by Lyndon H. LaRouche. Jr. (Dec. 15, 2000)
In physical science, the same method of generating ideas through geometry of position, is aptly illustrated by the referenced cases from Kepler and Fermat.
These methods of physical science, as distinct from, and opposed to ivory-tower mathematical physics at the flboard, are traced in European civilization from ancient Greece, and from a Platonic method of study of those discoveries which the Greeks adopted from earlier work in astronomy and other subject-matters, from, chiefly, ancient Egypt.
It is a difference on matters of science which takes its root in a deeper difference, respecting the nature of man. Here lies the source of the evil in Scalia's interventions.

 Will the U.S.A. Keep Its Sovereignty? by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Oct. 30, 1999)
In science, the most important words are names assigned to memory of the act of discovery of some validated universal physical principle.
In the case of science, the sharing of the cognitive experiences of discovering and proving the validity of such a universal principle is crucial.
That, in science, as in Classical art, and in law, is the definition of individual human reason in that domain.
