| "Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable explanations about nature and society. It is driven by the scientific method: an empirical cycle that typically involves making observations, producing hypotheses, testing them with evidence, and drawing conclusions. Science encompasses this process and the body of knowledge it produces, which the scientific community continuously challenges, validates, and organises."
The above is a quote taken from Wikipedia. I think the important part is "which the scientific community continuously challenges". That is the part that seems to be missing by many. By this definition science is never settled. It is constantly being questioned. Unless the powerful or rich say it's settled. | |
