We should also realize that there are many more phenomena of nature that do not fall into these categories, for instance those phenomena we see in organizations, particularly those in industrial organizations. We re-fer to science when we deal with physics, chemistry or biology. Somehow we have restricted the connotation of science to a very selective, limited assemblage of natural phenomena. Einstein's assumption is not true to the same extent that the previous one was not postulation of the conservation of energy and mass. This is the case with the assumption of the conservation of energy which was replaced by Einstein's more global-more valid

It just highlights the need or even the existence of another assumption that is more valid. This disproving does not detract from the validity of the assumption. On the other hand, it can be disproved by just a single phenomenon that cannot be explained by the assumption. Such an assumption can never be proven since even an infinite number of phenomena that can be explained by it does not prove its universal application. It is just an assumption that is valid in explaining a tremendous amount of natural phenomena. The Law of Conservation of Energy of physics is not truth. Science is simply the method we use to try and postulate a minimum set of assumptions that can explain, through a straightfor-ward logical derivation, the existence of many phenomena of na-ture. Science for me, and for the vast majority of respectable scientists, is not about the secrets of nature or even about truths.

I believe that these two words have been abused to the extent that their original meanings have been lost in a fog of too much respect and mystery.
