And much is not available to science. Value judgments and the like, the CONTENT of human experience, not the facts. Can you really only see understanding as measurable? Then you have left most of human living out of the equation. A good theory of the interrelationships of scientific law tells us nothing whatsoever about the human condition. This is why there are philosophers, artists and the like: their understanding is not the understanding of science. They are different modes.
