I understand that every thing in science is questionable, but what if anything
is the mainstay for main stream science?
is the mainstay for main stream science?
Danger was talking about the scientific method.kernelpenguin said:How come noone's mentioned the scientific method yet? Without it, the "mainstay" of physics would probably be God or some other supernatural entity.
Mainstream science refers to the dominant or widely accepted theories, principles, and methods in a particular scientific field. It is based on rigorous experimentation, peer-reviewed research, and reproducibility of results.
Mainstream science is based on evidence and follows the scientific method, while alternative or fringe science often disregards established scientific principles and lacks empirical evidence to support its claims.
Mainstream science has led to numerous advancements and innovations that have greatly improved our lives, from medical treatments and technologies to environmental conservation and sustainable energy sources.
While mainstream science is based on the best available evidence, it is not infallible. As new evidence emerges, mainstream scientific theories and understandings may be revised or replaced. However, this process is a crucial aspect of the scientific method and helps to ensure the accuracy and validity of scientific knowledge.
Mainstream science is not inherently biased, as it relies on objective evidence and rigorous testing. However, individual scientists may hold biases that can potentially influence their research and conclusions. The scientific community has systems in place, such as peer-review, to help mitigate and address any potential biases in research.
