For someone who claims to know very little about Science, you sure do love scientific reductionism a whole lot. No physicist worth his weight in salt would claim that the theories he works on are based on "the way the human brain processes physical phenomena." That would make it a kind of shared illusion. Physics exclusively employs math, a logical system based on a series of axioms. Then the theories are tested in experiments which reduce human observation to a minimum. The theories are considered “Facts” when they pass all available tests and return unambiguous results. If a good reason arises, they are scrapped immediately (or rather, subsumed into a larger theory). This is what gives them their strength. Scientific theories are immortal teachers, hanging around waiting for the next student to question and argue with them and (usually) agree with them eventually.

I don't mean to be grumpy with you, but it seems like you understand "Science" to be a one-word answer that reduces all ambiguity to silence, similar to "The Bible Teaches..." or "Because your mother says so, that's why." I feel like you're doing yourself a disservice with your oversimplifications. That is all.
