The Sciences Do Not Try To Explain, They Hardly Even Try To Interpret, They Mainly Make Models. By A Model Is Meant A Mathematical Construct Which, With The Addition Of Certain Verbal Interpretations, Describes Observed Phenomena. The Justification Of Such A Mathematical Construct Is Solely And Precisely That It Is Expected To Work-that Is, Correctly To Describe Phenomena From A Reasonably Wide Area.
