Science isn't a document with truths laid out in plaintext.
Science is a method. Science is a method humans use in order to create a repeatable experiment, with repeatable outcomes. That's it.
As our tools improve our measurements, those measurements lead to a greater understanding of the world around us.
That is science. It's why science seems to change, because our tools improve, our measurements improve, and our data gathered becomes more refined.
Science is simply a tool used to garner truths.
- xeonmc 4y agoSomewhat tangential, but I feel like a neat children's story could be written in a similar vein as "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" but replace Christmas with "Science", and the various things stolen being scientific implements, demolishing peer-reviewed journal institutions, deleting research data/past knowledge etc.
