Nigel writes: postmodern relativity

>From most of what I read, postmodernism is confined to the liberal arts curriculum such as literature - that it has made little headway in the sciences. The sources I read this in were politically biased so I would like your opinion on this. The idea that truth is relative and only true in its paradigm seems absurd. That the Standard Model led to the transistor and other things, argues for a reality where truth can be determine independently.

What inroads has postmodernism made outside literature? Perhaps you could explain it simply for me.

thank you,
David B.
