Sceince always tries to be objective. Moon revolves around earth, 2+2=4, Newtons laws are same everywhere, water boils at 100 degree C. Few of the philosopher like Bertrand Russel and Wittengstien tried to make language objective. According to them all the problems in the world arise out of the subjective intepretaion of the events. They bthought if the language is made objective like language of mathematics than number of problems will be resolved. Both of the philosopher failed in their project but their is always a possibility that meaning can be fixed.
