PopularScience

From WikiWorld

Popular science has become self-righteous and a new religion of lies and false promises. True objectivity demands that we accept that all our theories are wrong and will someday be replaced by better theories. If you jump off a building their is, objectively, a finite possibility that you will fall up. If you put a pot of water on the stove and turn on the heat, there is a finite possibility that it will freeze. Objectivity in Science is very good in predicting what is probable, it is almost useless when it comes to predicting the improbable. StarPilot and other tell me that restoring objectivity to science is not possible. But clearly objectivity is measurable and it can be use when and if we choose to use it.

Have I told you it is impossible to restore objectivity to Science? Or merely to the greater Scientific community?

As far as I know, Science is many things. The narrowest definition of Science I can think of at the moment, is the methods of Science for observing, testing, synthesizing knowledge of what is, and why it is/works that way (tool: methodology and proofing logic). The largest/broadest definition of Science is of the greater Scientific community, which like any community has its own consensual set and preferred SeaOfLies for its functioning as a community (community). Yes? ---StarPilot

Yes star, you are correct. I believe is is possible that WE employ RealScience. --JimScarver
