To take a page from Churchill, science is a lot like democracy, it’s the worst thing to believe except for all those others that have been tried from time to time.
Precisely because it keeps changing and improving is why we should trust the scientific process.
The fact that this is in the NY Times means it’s not reaching hillbillies where this thinking is prevalent
Because the world is complex and „science“ requires that we try to understand the totality of that complexity with a structured approach. We don’t all have to understand each piece, but we recognize the efforts others are making.
If someone doesn’t trust science, then they are unwilling to pull aside the curtain and will take it on faith that the Wizard of Oz has all the answers.
My curiosity runs too deep to not look behind the curtain.
I love how science gets the blame for shitty science journalism.
That’s the purpose of science, for ever asking challenging questions and changing the answers when new data appear`s. Its supposed to be a pretty open minded topic.
because it keeps changing.
observe record/measure repeat..
when you don’t get the same result, that’s learning something **new**.
(after your peers have reviewed your work)
believe it or not, airplanes only work because we learned new stuff a while back.
