Philosophy is not science and as such it is not a good field for exploring and learning about the universe.
- Philosophy often is the examination of the sciences that are way beyond what we scientifically know at present. We "feel" some of the greater and deeper science. Philosophy tries to examine it without our science, because our science is so far behind, but we want (need) answers anyway, so we philosophize.Take care.
This is an excellent description of philosophy.
