I love science and science fiction. There are large philosophical issues that exist because of the advancement of science. For example, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle essentially states that the more accurate you measure particle speed, the less accurately you can know a particles position and vice versa. Which really goes to say the act of observing affects the behavior of the thing being observed. This is no truer in science as it is with human behavior. I find that fascinating.
