What does this quote mean “A theory is no more like a fact than a photograph is like a person”?
In: Other
Well, a theory isn’t really a fact. It represents a potential solution to a question or problem. In a way a theory therefore may represent a fact. If you consider a solution to a problem a fact.
A picture represents a person or, more correctly, the image of a person.
So a picture and a theory are representations of something else. In that way they are similar.
