Now idk

2019-10-15 02:36:00 UTC  

when pop "scientists" like Neil degras or Bill Nye speak, they speak as if saying "We don't have all the answers, but we are *the* authority that will have the answers, not you."

I do believe the Earth is a globe. I just don't agree with some of the cosmology stuff out there.

2019-10-15 02:36:41 UTC  

I feel u on the cosmology part

2019-10-15 02:37:40 UTC  

I've had some very good teachers in school and plenty of teachers that I think should never teacher.

2019-10-15 02:38:08 UTC  

the very good teachers, to me, were very good because they were honest enough to admit and stress the fact that "we really don't know. we have theories, but we really don't know"

2019-10-15 02:38:25 UTC  

I really liked those teachers

2019-10-15 02:39:29 UTC  

Theory comes after experiment though doesn’t it

2019-10-15 02:39:33 UTC  

yea

2019-10-15 02:39:42 UTC  

So not scientific theories

2019-10-15 02:40:05 UTC  

Palm reader theories ?

2019-10-15 02:40:08 UTC  

Lol

2019-10-15 02:40:31 UTC  

from my understanding a theory is a model or a set of equations that we create to explain, or interpret, the data we have

2019-10-15 02:40:39 UTC  

hypothesis comes before the experiment/data

2019-10-15 02:40:39 UTC  

They say theory it sounds scientific

2019-10-15 02:41:15 UTC  

hypothesis -> experiment/observation -> data -> interpretation/theory/law

2019-10-15 02:41:24 UTC  

that's my basic understanding of it

2019-10-15 02:41:28 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-15 02:41:44 UTC  

No

2019-10-15 02:41:58 UTC  

What’s experiment/observation mean

2019-10-15 02:42:03 UTC  

Why should I go to someone’s funeral if they aren’t even going to mine

2019-10-15 02:42:17 UTC  

Does the slash mean or

2019-10-15 02:42:20 UTC  

or

2019-10-15 02:42:24 UTC  

Who’s

2019-10-15 02:42:29 UTC  

Whoa

2019-10-15 02:42:35 UTC  

/ means "and" or "or"

2019-10-15 02:42:53 UTC  

In urs it means or ?

2019-10-15 02:43:29 UTC  

U can’t do the scientific method without experiment bro

2019-10-15 02:43:45 UTC  

it's an experiment if you have control over the parameters, but it's less of an experiment and just observation if you really have limited control

2019-10-15 02:43:49 UTC  

I mean, that's my understanding

2019-10-15 02:44:03 UTC  

I'm just telling you what I undesrtand about it

2019-10-15 02:44:09 UTC  

i'm no expert at this though

2019-10-15 02:44:18 UTC  

Ok

2019-10-15 02:44:48 UTC  

If u just have observation that’s not experiment

2019-10-15 02:44:55 UTC  

if you're going to measure something that is already in nature, I would call it an observation and not an experiment

2019-10-15 02:44:59 UTC  

U have to manipulate the iv in an experiment

2019-10-15 02:45:36 UTC  

U can just observe an experiment though

2019-10-15 02:45:40 UTC  

Can’t

2019-10-15 02:45:43 UTC  

and in both cases, you need to make an observation (or more accurately a measurement) in order to collect data

2019-10-15 02:46:32 UTC  

@jeremy yes you're right, and Riley did not

2019-10-15 02:46:40 UTC  

Therefore his conclusion is wrong
