It is only as real as the person or persons who are working with that particular science. Science is wholly and completely dependent on the fallibility of the human being. Humans are fallible and when they study and analyze and create they are doing so from a state of bias and dissonance. One example is our 'confirmation bias' wherein once a person or persons begins to find a particular science of interest they begin immediately to confirm that bias or belief. Humans are about reality and survival but that reality is based on beliefs and those beliefs are based on what the perceive as reality and as exampled that reality perception is subject to considerable confirmation bias.
This is just one example now, much like in science, one must attempt to gather the evidence and facts and knowledge necessary to prove or disprove this hypothesis and once again if that interests you, you will find that as you search it out you will be subjected to the human nature and condition of biases and dissonances. Not to mention the effects our past, present and perceived future put on this effort because all of those, and more, will affect the effects of what we look for and gather to prove that our belief, therefore our reality, is realistic and true and factual.
Truth and facts are about people, human beings, not actual truth such as a rock on the beach is a rock on the beach as long as all the people observing the rock on the beach are all observing the same thing. But, if you question each of those persons on the beach and ask for a description of what they see, all may describe a different perspective and perception due to their biases and dissonances. It is human nature.
In the end, what one perceives as a science or fact or truth or understanding or perspective or perception will do so in a way that fits their beliefs therefore their realities and that reality will be base solely and exclusively on what those beliefs and realities bring to the table that allows that person or persons to - SURVIVE!
Science is only real as we humans make it real and science is only real if that reality contributes something to what, when, where and how that person or persons survive.
When you hear something like, "all lives matter," that will be the human condition working to believe that reality is about something matters when in reality all lives matter under the heading and drive toward - SURVIVAL!
When all is said and done the end game is "Species Survival Matters!" Not just human lives but all life in and of itself matters toward the survival of our planet, our solar system and our universe and species survival matters on the great and beautiful blue orb that gives us life and the ability to survives its trials and tribulations that tend to make life - ALIVE!
This is something one should think about when they read these meme's, quotations and aphorisms, etc., that no matter the view, perspective or perception of each of us as humans, "Species Survival Matters!"
"Species Survival Matters!"
