Science and Senses

Science is always conflicting with our senses. Using the example in the topic, tables, we figure this out. Imagine that you are sitting in class and you are just staring and staring at the table in front of you. According to science, the table is made up of empty space. According to our senses, the table is a solid object.
Our senses think that a table is a solid object for many reasons. One reason being that it is because we can touch it, and put things on top of it. But are our senses just messing with us? Our senses are just making us think this way. Our brains are finding the most logical way to interpret something. It is not the science logic they are using, but a way that seems most logical to the way we, the people, perceive things. Science states that the table is made up of molecules. All the molecules are not close together, but in fact are always moving around in the scientific mind, this means that when the molecules are moving really fast around each other it is creating empty space and not a solid thing.
These are why they are contracting ideas. No one can really tell which one is true. It just depends on who the person is. Everyone thinks different and everyone believes in different things. Some people believe in their senses and say that the table is solid. Others, who think that facts are important and that these facts can prove anything, will say that science is correct. This question can lead to cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance is when you believe something and do actions that go against it. This changes the way you behave and think. It is also a motivator. It is a way of persuading ourselves what to do. An example of cognitive dissonance, taken from a website, is that you say that you are a good person, but you do a bad thing. The guilt or anxiety you feel is cognitive dissonance. Some guy named Festinger figured this out and did an experiment. He made students lie about a boring task. He paid the students one dollar to lie about it. Festinger figured out the students who were paid one dollar felt really terrible about lying. It also happens when you have to contrasting ideas in your head at the same time, but both ideas cannot possibly be true. It gives you a feeling of being uncomfortable. The two contrasting ideas here are if we believe our senses and say that the table is solid, or if we believe in science and say that the table is actually empty space.
The question is not if the table is empty space or a solid figure, but if these two contradicting ideas can be resolved. The real question is if believing in science or believing in your senses can be resolved. Can both science and senses be said to be the same thing? To some people they are the same. But that is only because they think that science is correct. I think in order for the people who believe that their senses are correct then something has to change. That thing can be their senses. They can start to think that science is right and that their senses were just messing with them. Or science can change. I have said before that science is always changing, and people are always trying to prove new theories. These people are also trying to disprove old theories that other people came up with. So someone might come a long and try to disprove this theory. The will have an idea and test it and maybe years into the future they will find evidence that prove it wrong. And then science and our senses will be the same. But I doubt that will happen. So back to the question of whether or not the two can be resolved. I already said that to some people they might be able to. That is their opinion. I am not saying if their opinion is right or wrong, but I think the opposite. In my opinion, these two questions will always be going against each other. This is because science and senses are two different things.

They might start out the same. For example, let us say that you are sitting there and then you get an idea. Your senses tell you that this idea is awesome and it is correct. Just in case, you decide to test this idea, but science proves you wrong. They are the same because at first you thought that was the answer. Now you know differently but your senses still say that you were right before.

That is why I think that these two contrasting ideas cannot be resolved. As I stated before, some people might think so and those same people probably think that science is correct in every which way. But that is another reason why the two cannot be resolved. Only some people think that. Not every person in the entire world. My point being is that science and our senses are different. And they both probably always will.
