Dreams of Reason Feast Day

Dreams of Reason Feast Day is an annual American holiday devoted to theories that have not yet been translated into reality. A fantastic future is still only in our dreams, but we can’t stop believing in it! The holiday is observed on April 14.

History

The history of this holiday is shrouded in mystery. Scientific theories are descriptions of objects or phenomena in the surrounding world, fully justified by commonly known facts. There are also hypotheses, which are assumptions used in science when information about an object or phenomenon is insufficient or lacks the proper degree of certainty. When these hypotheses are properly justified, they can become theories.

For example, Charles Darwin spent many years collecting data and testing methods in practice. His theory of evolution underwent a long period of doubt and denial before it was accepted by the global scientific community. Today, we all know that humans are the result of a long evolutionary process and that our ancestors were ape-like creatures. Thus, Darwin’s assumptions eventually became reality.

Interesting Facts

• Conspiracy theories have existed for centuries and still persist despite the lack of clear evidence.
• The greatest number of theories can be found in the exact sciences, such as mathematics and physics.
