Sheril KirshenbaumScience isn’t “truth.” It isn’t simply a series of facts.
Science is an iterative process. We continue to test hypotheses & refine ideas.
Science is always changing as we learn more.
BashStKid@Sheril Without coming over all Popperian, I like to say it’s mostly explanations, which gets away from ‘what do you mean by theory’
But interestingly, it is perhaps the first social, collaborative, participatory search for understanding. Even at the most reductive, it’s not science until someone else has checked your stuff, not to mention that nobody (not even Dirac) made all their advances in a vacuum.
