Written as a Socratic dialogue between a lecturer and a student,
this text presents, in a non-technical style, some elements for an
operational description of reality. Following a brief introductory
discussion about the main characterizing ingredients of a
scientific approach to reality, the reader is introduced to a
number of important, but unexpectedly puzzling, concepts, which are
at the roots of our scientific language. More specifically, using a
number of simple examples, the dialogue explores the meaning of
concepts such as: experimental test, property, attribute, actuality
and potentiality, entity, state, certainty, identity, evolution,
classical and quantum probabilities, energy, space and
non-locality, separation, existence, possibility, personal reality
and personal experience, creation and discovery, time, change and
permanence, structure and complexity, distinction and connection,
and many others as well.
