So - it seems you already made up your mind, and the following quote support this:
In science, I am afraid, there is no place for "mystical" reality.
There is only one - and that one is measurable by adequate equipment in repeatable way, or not yet measurable - but the existence of that reality follows from existing measurements, by applying mathematical methods and procedures. Sorry...

Hi Bojan, no need to be sorry... helping me to understand science is why I am here... fitting it into my strange little mindset is my own dilemma.
Now here is where you may be able to help me Bojan... lets assume you are correct and science is dependent upon observation and math.
My eyes are good and I can make decent written reports on what I observe. The stumbling block for me is the math....
In the Principia Mathematica A.N. Whitehead does some serious math most of which absolutely looses me.
Can you suggest some on-line resources that would help me to develop the needed math skills to even do something as basic as understand his proof of 1+1=2.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
