Is Physical Science Socially Constructed?

Sokal`s response to the most extreme PoMo gibberish (that physical reality is a social construct) was to invite them to step out of his 12th story office window if they truly believed that the Law of Gravity was a ``social construct.``

BTW, unlike most of the critics of Post Modernism, Sokal is a hard-core old-time leftie who despises Post Modernism for its self-obsessed navel-gazing and the intense pleasure it derives from listening to its own gibberish. That is, Sokal actually wants to do something (raise minimum wage, bring about socialised medicine, or whatever) and the Post Modernists just prefer to sit in their lofty ivory towers and debate the modern version of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. As far as Soakl is concerned, this is nothing but intellectual masturbation that serves no useful purpose whatsoever other than to make them feel important.

I am waiting for Samina Shah and MniPhirSay to jump in here and rip Sokal and M. Gill to shreds for daring to suggest that their life`s study is pointless!
