An assumption is an assumption. One can not prove an assumption. We can
only see how USEFUL this assumption is (am I getting the level-3 flue? :-)).
We can only see the results. In this case, science has done incredible
things with this assumption.

We can also assume that there is no objective reality. And stay in caves.
Or... May be it is as creative as non-Euclidian geometry. Let's see where
we can get with the assumption that there is no objective reality. There is
no point of any research, there is no point of doing anything... After all,
it seems like a creative idea. Any volunteers to check it up?
