Thank you. But in reality science is 100% consensus. Nothing else. There isn’t a single scientific “fact” that is anything more than high degrees of consensus

Thank you.

The commenters who seem to believe that consensus is anti-science have no clue what they are talking about.
- cblconfederate 5y agonot really , science is about building 100% bulletproof but falsifiable theories that are constantly being attacked by non-consenters and still win. No such thing as "fixed" scientific truth
- proc0 5y agoConsensus is just people agreeing on something. Science depends on tests passing, which does not depend on anyone agreeing on their results. Indeed, the point of tests is to remove the human from the 'equation' so to speak, therefore consensus isn't even possible. If consensus is needed, it's probably because rigorous science cannot be done for whatever reason, like maybe not having enough fossil evidence.
