you can test it as often as you like, the point is the result will be the same

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

Idk if Thomas nagal.is any indication there are plenty who don't want anything other then nautealism to be true

but if the hypothesis is accurate it will yield the same results

only restesting when you dont get the results you want is bad form

in the cointoss experiment you can believe you will get heads, get heads once and not restest

So you're saying we have to test gravity every time we wake up?

im saying we test gravity a bunch of times in different scenarios every day

its predictable how it will behave

aka its science

A scientific theory gets accepted if many MANY people tested it and all got the same conclusion, meaning it has been tested thousands of times


Yet if you DON'T believe it, you can feel free to test it as many times as you want

and if you go into outer space and shit does not always fall the way you expect, then you make a new theory

but it still needs to be predictable

test it once, test it hundreds of times, its gonna be the same

so when you wake up in space you know what might happen

on average

no, thats a conclusion we draw based on tests we confirmed scientifically

@Mallic you mean the philosopher? That doesn't sound like much in the way of evidence to me

Simplified:
If i drop a bottle on earth, i confirm the test of gravity,

Knowing how gravity works, i can ASSUME that if i drop a brick on earth, it will apply the same effect,

If it doesn't, and i drop the brick and it flies off, it proves my hypothesis was wrong

what did you say about medicine again? that it was not science?

its statistics, because i can't predict its endings with certainty

if that is your standard, which you can believe it to be
