Scientific proof is often presented as the end all to be all but in fact proof, all proof, is more likely strong probability than anything else. First we have two kinds of science, the outward astro-science and the inward quantum science. Reports indicate their laws do not agree and they do not yet know why. Also, they cannot agree on what time is. Nor can for that matter, even eye-witnesses, who are sources of notoriously unreliable evidence, agree with each other. On top of it all, we do not have all the facts, nor will we have all the facts, since facts grow with our discoveries revealing even more facts we did not know all along but only now become aware of them. It is a comedy of errors, we are learning that we are more ignorant than admitted previously. The word proof is used loosely and just how loosely is revealed as the centuries roll on while perception of the universe continues to expand.
