Scientific paper

PROF. DINGLE arrives at a startling conclusion, namely, that if any physicist believes that ``the universe exists independently of our experience of it'' he must also ``presume that he is omniscient'' (p. 28). This conclusion is reached in the course of an examination of the current principle hi physics that only observable quantities are significant. In his reasoning, however, I think that he makes the mistake of overlooking the admittedly limited and in large part tentative character of all scientific knowledge.
