Both Video's tickles my Fancy in different ways... One thing... Does Brian Cox Wears Face Paint ? Or is it just Me ?

If He does not, that must be weird to have the appearance to wear make up if you do not...

Man you guys are funny

@James B there are assumptions made by science that aren't justified by science or even reason

@Jarlkage Productions wat

Science works by developing models, deriving predictions from them (if this model is accurate, what would we expect to observe, for example). If those predictions are met, that's evidence for the model, yada yada

But if you try to use science to justify science, that's circular...

And it's the way it is.

Lol

But it's the same for logic

Using science to justify science? You mean using science to learn about the universe?

How do you know science works, as in being a reliable way to learn about the universe? I accept science, but those are issues that you can't justify rationally with science...

I'm a fucking atheist btw. I like science, but it be the truth

What can't we not justify rationally with science?

The reliability of science itself

That's one example though

There's others
