Most people on hacker news don’t understand science.
Probably you don’t either. Did you know it is axiomatically impossible to prove anything to be true in science?
Every claim made by every scientist from the beginning of science to eternity has never ever been proven true. In science you can only falsify things.
If you don’t know this or don’t logically understand why this is the case then you never truly understood science.
People understand science from a cultural and political perspective. From a logical and axiomatic perspective, in science you cannot actually prove anything to be true.
This flaw within the actual framework of science itself is the origin of much of the misunderstandings and debates in the cultural and political arenas of science. For example no scientist can actually definitively prove global warming is real.
It is literally fundamentally impossible. Hence the politics.
