Hi Fahim you asked.......Can we really observe/understand/know the truth without affecting it?
I doubt if we can.
My gripe with the requirement of prediction is simply that one will look for what is sought ... Big band expects to find background radiation and when they do it is their exclusive property and other explanations as to what has been found are never considered...in my view...and I accept that folk can get upset about my view as it suggests science can be corrupted... science cant be corrupted but certainly humans can.
AND in respect of the background radiation... I think it was a team from the University of Alabama who found that problem existed with the background radiation in so far as some galaxies shielded it and some did not ...and as the finding of background radiation was taken as the nail in the coffin for the steady state model somewhat established big bang as a theory incapable being turned over...faulsified?... now I just have a feeling given the Universities location in the bible belt as it were that most folk around there would be happier with a steady state model for religious conviction... and so at the end of the day we have two truths emerge ... and one can not help but think if you asked your question relating to the situation now of "there is there isnt" the answer can only be two truths do not make one truth someones expectations or beliefs may just have colored the outcome.
I suspect the team at Allabamma found what they set out to find maybe cattering to perhaps a bias unrelated to the scientific opportunities.
If you are expecting to find the higgs bosen do you think for one moment with an investment of 9 billion it will not be found...
