Would you claim that photosynthesis was a myth if we didn't understand every step of the Krebs cycle? There are loads of natural phenomena we don't understand

There are loads of natural phenomena we don't understand precisely, but nature doesn't care. We don't understand how many drugs work. There is no book that explains how thalidomide helps with multiple myeloma but is that a reason to say pharmacology is not science?
- sydbarrett74 3y agoNot to be overly pedantic, but the Krebs cycle is a part of respiration, not photosynthesis. Maybe you're thinking of the Calvin cycle?
- adr1an 3y agoExactly my thought!
- cedilla 3y agoYou are appropriately pedantic. I learnt this in school almost 40 years ago, so apologies. The point still stands, I hope.
- sydbarrett74 3y agoIt most certainly does, and I didn't mean to detract from it.
