Maybe, but the crisis right now is there are all these different camps increasingly hostile. Each camp claims there's no crisis in science. They then explain that's because what they are doing is proper science, And the others are not, or they are bad phiosophers. Which is actually a consensus. Because they all have exactly the same view. They all science to their approach. Yet one more invariant we can also add to the consensus is what none of them do is tell us something new we go look. They don't predict. And yet another invariant is they all dismiss the importance of that. But ...if there was one that made non-trivial breakthrough predictions, the fact is, this situation would vanish, science would restart, proper frameworks that guided research by early primordial predictions would exponentially suck in new talent. all the other theories would experience brain drain, and sccientifi consenus would re-emerge. So there it is. You don't have choose between them. They all say the same thing. There is no way anyway. Just go for the better looking ones....might as well be with the lookers. There is no separating them. So treat them all like one argument for what science is. And choose that. Or choose the other one. That predictions are fundamental because anyway a break through theory abut the world, presumably has something new to tell us. But it's more than just that. The popper rot talks about falsification as if that is what it's about. No. Theories never falsified by the time the big prediction shows up They would get there in the first place. Falsification is important that we all make a pact that when our day comes we will honour truth over our theory. But it's not bout that. It's about the predictions that are confirmed. Because what they now are, is the way we find new energy and new other things. The equation V = IR translates to super preise predictications that are so reliable to be confirmed that we an build circuits millions, and never once worry the energy won't show. That's the fundamental importance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
