    Attempts to tackle why in science are actually, underneath, just a how-it-really-happens, or what-happens answers.

    No scientist can explain the why, and most can't even explain the how (Heisenberg uncertainty, for one accessible example).

      The fact that i am being downvoted on my previous comment means i am on to sth. Truth maybe?

        I didn't really understand what you wrote in your comment above. Re-phrase a bit maybe?

          Sure. In the first comment: science can only explain what happens, and even that, with no certainty.

          In the second comment: my first comment was getting downvoted heavily by the pseudo-quacks whose religion is science.
