Why haven’t we already created androids or normalized the presence of human-like technology? Do machines that resemble humans make us uncomfortable?

Gravity works today, but there is nothing within the scientific method, no experiment that we can do, that can prove that gravity will work tomorrow.

Will Gravity Work Tomorrow?

Gravity works today, and it has worked literally every other day in the past, so it will work tomorrow. Right?

The 18th-century philosopher, David Hume, reasoned that there is no logical way to conclude that gravity must work tomorrow.

This is because the laws of physics do not causally necessitate their continuation in the future. By this I mean that we have scientific measurements that gravity worked in the past, and we can measure that gravity works right now, but there is absolutely no experiment, nothing within the scientific method, that can prove that gravity will work tomorrow.

As humans, we use induction, it is helpful for us to assume that gravity will always act the same way in the future. But, induction doesn’t give us certainty.

The problem of induction:

How can we rationally justify that the laws of physics will be the same throughout time? If this is impossible for the scientific method to prove then perhaps the laws of physics are not uniform.

Phenomenon

Phenomena are the experiences which make up reality. The point of science is to understand and explain these phenomena, for example, that gravity holds us to the earth.

reality is made up of phenomena

Well, if, one day, science were to explain and fully understand all phenomena, then would we fully understand all of reality?

Let’s think about this.

The question of whether phenomena depicts all of reality depends entirely upon whether there is anything more to life than phenomena. By this I mean whether there exists something about nature that can’t be detected or experienced by any human being and which can’t be explained or described by any mathematics or any science no matter how advanced we are.

So will we be able to fully understand reality?
