I suppose I could talk about how I’ve never had any other proof about existence of photons except what I’ve read in books and I’ve been told by teachers. How I am in fact taking science on authority rather than first hand experimental proof. Sure, scientific method and all the explanations sound like they make sense, but is that enough to accept them as facts? Or should I lower my probabilities until I actually find out myself?
