hey if it worked
principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses
i mean fuck he lost everything and died pennyless
there is nothing in that definition about absolute predictive capacity
did not seem like he was to traumatised about it till after he stopped shocking himself daily due to losing hsi equipment
if something was only science when you can prove what will happen 100% of the time, the only thing that maybe could be science is math
MAYBE
there has to be, else I can just say "i scientificaly predict that the Earth will blow up in 10 seconds"
And when it doesn't i said "Oh well, it doesn't have to be predictable, so its still a sciencE"
i mean there is a fundamentals issue there but whatever
@Mallic Really, if you want to fight Nihilism, if you want to give your life a purpose, just consider family members and friends that you remember fondly that aren't here anymore. Think about the effect that they had on your life. Quit worrying over the destination, and focus on the journey. Even if the future were to not matter in the grand scheme of the universe, even if we're unimportant specks, we don't live on a Universal scale, We live on an insignificant blue spec. And everything here matters to us. Any chance we have of figuring it all out comes in pushing the human race forward. Our impact goes beyond our lives.
Now I think I'm done trying to be inspirational for the day, I've got work to do.
No, science works everywhere like this,
The whole point of science is that anyone can test it using the same parameters and limits, in the same physical universe, will get the same result,
It can be peer-reviewed
insignificant blue spec: <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>
There has been, for years, a bounty on any supernatural phenomena, wherein proof of psychic powers will net you a monetary prize. Nobody has ever won
the same resultS
plural
on average
The.problem is assuming that peep aren't biased in peer reviewa
you cant just test a thing once and be done with it
gotta test it a thousand times may not be enough
imagine if one result was enough, you could make a theory of a result of a cointoss
thats teh scientifc method
Bias doesn't mean "let's believe anything" though
as soon as you make 2 results, it does not become statistics lmao
the point of the scientific method, is that a person can recreate it if they don't believe you,
And every time they do it they'll get the same result
there are tools to seperate yourself from your bias
resultS
Ok ok what i told you guys that panpsychism is becoming more and more academically credible?
even if to only make that bias apparant
so that others may recognise
plural results
You need resultS for the initial testing to confirm it
But anyone who doesn't believe you can run the same test once to see that the original hypothesis is true again
its the whole point, that anyone can recreate the test
I'd ask you for your sources
yes, but just testing it once is not going to prove or disprove anything
if medicine is only 80% accurate
1 out of every 5 tests will yield a different result
So if 50 scientists test it, 10 will have a different result (statistically)
That means that they wont get the same results 20% of the time
and testing things 2 or more times does not make it any less of a science
you can test it to confirm it
thats the whole point of it
If you don't believe it, you can retest it
a billion trilliong gazillion times
