So would you say that if a physicist said that gravity is a settled matter and absolutely exists, you would similarly call them an authoritarian abusing their position?
Do we have an obligation to engage non-experts in debate when they claim that gravity isn't actually real?
- kls 7y agoI believe when the proposition is socio-economic changes being proposed based on research there is a high bar and a high standard for that science and for the researchers conducting that science. I am not sure if I am there on climate change, I would be there on gravity if we needed some tax to offset it's effects. But gravity is physics a far more solid and predictive science than climatology is, so I expect the climate researchers to not proclaim it is as solidly settled as physics.
