that's not how it works
you are prescribing confidence in the one the evidence lines up with
i tried to explain to him that science doesn't prove but only gives the best guess
the laws I said earlier weren't hypotheses
those were theories
proven facts
and science gives a better guess than your beliefs
If there is one rule that there has 100% confidence tho
>theories are proven facts
lmao
That’d be entropy
You need theory to know a fire is hot well I feel for you then cause i can touch it and know
they are
the scientific definiton
not common def
Sassy you are literally using inference to the best explanation principles to realize that, which is the basis of science!
wut
fran give me a sec
I'm just explaining what science is since you clearly know nothing about it
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world.
Did it go over your head?
snort has no idea what he is talking about
don't fret too much
alright maybe I was the wrong word
I meant theorem
proven facts
theorem is a mathematical term
then its theory
no one says 'physical theorem'
there are two defs of theory
scientific and normal
I'm using the scientific
proven facts
yeah the scientific definitions is "A hypothesis we have very high confidence in"
no it isnt
Yes it is
No
the bar for very high is: Peer review, Fits with background data, predicts other phenomena, ect
