Sciences fundamental flaw
    #6421289 - 01/03/07 11:46 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

I'm a bit shit at explaining myself so read this carefully before you pistol whip me with your science debate...
:blush:

Sciences fundamental flaw;

Proof.  To prove something it must be tested.

But we now realize nothing can be truly tested!

We become stuck because we cannot tell the difference between 2 particles (quantum mechanics).

But the same rule applies to the whole of science, as there's no universal testing point and thus science is fundamentally flawed.

So we end up having to agree on theories as a basis for something that claims to provide a whole proof.  The system is only true if every part of the system is correct.  Science is based on assumptions.

it has to make some basic assumptions about the nature of our reality for it to even exist!

The paradox is that we would have to test the test itself for science to not be flawed!

i understand we have to make theories and decide them to be true or not to progress.  But scientists must also understand the value of questioning every possibility! :sun:

Please explain...

We become stuck because we cannot tell the difference between 2 particles (quantum mechanics).

Are you referring to two different particles? Or two of the same type of particle?

If you mean the former, then you are wrong because we can tell two different species of particle apart. If you meant the latter then you are correct...but where's the problem? Should you be able to tell two electrons apart? How, when they are identical in every way?

i understand we have to make theories and decide them to be true or not to progress. But scientists must also understand the value of questioning every possibility!

Science does not tell us if something is "true"...only if something is not true.

Your view of science appears to be a little distorted.

we end up having to agree on theories as a basis for something that claims to provide a whole proof.

Science NEVER proves things. All it does is provide theories that explain observations and predict the results of experiments intended to test the theory.

If the experimental results and other observations of nature agree with the predictions of the theory, the theory is lent weight, but it's never considered proved. However, if the experimental results conflict with the theory, the theory is refined to more-closely describe the available observations. This allows the theory to get better and better as it's improved over time.

However, part of a scientist's job is to figure out experimental ways to show the theory is wrong. If no experiments can be invented to show an inconsistency in the theory's predictions, it is considered a good working theory, but always with the understanding that some new experiment may ultimately find a flaw.

Example: Newton described gravity well enough to predict the positions of planets, moons, eclipses, and other astronomical events. It worked well for hundreds of years because, even though we now know it doesn't accurately describe gravity, sufficiently-accurate instruments to detect the flaw didn't exist until recently.

When accurate instruments became available, it was found that the orbit of the planet Mercury didn't agree with the prediction of the theory. When calculating the orbit of Mercury using Newton's theory, small discrepancies between the predictions of the theory and the observations of Mercury's orbit became apparent. For a long time, this discrepancy was a mystery.

Eventually, Einstein came up with a refined theory to describe gravity that describes the orbit of Mercury perfectly.

So, AS FAR FAR AS WE CAN TELL, Einstein's theory is correct, but it is NOT proved. Nothing in science is ever proved.

It is possible (likely?) that some new discovery will expose flaws in Einstein's theory. If that happens, the theory will have to be modified or replaced entirely to account for the discrepancies.

Another example is the Atomic theory. No one has ever seen an atom, so it may be the case that atoms don't exist and the structure of matter is actually very different than the Atomic theory suggests. However, if the Atomic theory were substantially flawed, things like nuclear power plants which are designed with the application of the Atomic theory would not work.

This means that the Atomic theory is ALMOST CERTAINLY correct, but even with all the evidence supporting it and no evidence against it, it remains subject to updates or even being discarded entirely if some new observation in the future contradicts the theory.

This is one of the things that irks me about creationists stating that Evolution is "just a theory" in an effort to degrade the theory in the eyes of religious people who chose to be ignorant of how science works.

EVERYTHING in science is just a theory. Saying that evolution is "just a theory" is like stating that "water is just wetness". Everything in science is theory. :mushroom2:

which is a type of science, so how can you disproof science by using another science?

You say its not proved but yet i remember you telling me (in my perpetual motion thread) with the upmost certainty that i can not get more energy out of a system than i put in - because of a sciencific rule.

its good you realise that its all just theories and that was my point. Even the most simplest of theories is based on many many other underlying theories.

Generally, it is common for people to say stuff like 'science proved it'. Many people do hold science as a fixed knowledge system. i mean when one problems cracked its onto the next...

i think people forget to challenge things and they become stuck in their beliefs.

What I said was that based on all we know there isn't any possible way for a perpetual motion machine to work.

That still leaves open a tiny possibility that something we don't currently know may some day allow a working perpetual motion machine. But here's the thing: that tiny possibility is so vanishingly small that it makes no sense to even entertain the idea.

There are other things to think about far more likely to produce useful results compared to the almost-absolutely-certainly-impossible perpetual motion machine that you're better off using your time more productively than trying to invent it.

I'm a little stoned so if that ^^^ doesn't make sense, I'll edit it in the morning.  :rasta:

But we now realize nothing can be truly tested!

I beg to differ. I predict that 100 out of 100 times that I throw a ball up into the air, it will come back down. You can perform this experiment yourself if you wish.

Maybe some things can't be tested right now, in a hundred or a thousand years, you can't even image what will be possible. A few hundred years ago people didn't think it would be possible to ever know what stars were made out of. A hundred years ago, people would have laughed at you if you said someday we would be able to read the blueprints for any living organism, and that eventually we will be able to alter those blueprints however we see fit.

We become stuck because we cannot tell the difference between 2 particles

I'm assuming you're talking about particles of the same type. Maybe two quarks aren't different from each other, maybe they're exactly the same. And, maybe we can't tell the difference now, but in a hundred of a thousand years, we'll be able to.

The thing about science is that it is constantly changing and advancing. Religion on the other hand is constantly being proven more and more wrong, and ultimately becoming unnecessary. Religion is left over from a time when humans had no way to explain the world around them. Now, scientists observe the world around them and very systematically describe the way things appear to work. It's not like someone just makes up a theory out of the blue. The theory comes from many, many observations, and if the theory is shown to be flawed, it is changed to more accurately describe what's going on.

The system is only true if every part of the system is correct

Not true either. The "Theory of Everything" is only true if every part of the theory is correct. A theory only has to rely on the other (smaller, more specific) theories that it is built upon. You can analyze a chemical compound and find most of the individual chemicals that make it up. The fact that you might not know that last ingredient or two doesn't mean that the other chemicals aren't really there.

as others have said, science never proves anything. this isn't a shortcoming of science, but of existence itself. there is only one thing you can know for absolute certain, but science is a process by which you can get a pretty good measure on most everything else.

> Sciences fundamental flaw;

Yes, people that don't understand the scientific method. However, that is a flaw with people's understanding and not with science itself. (Please don't take this as a flame towards you. It isn't meant to be. I see too many pretend 'couch' scientists preaching as if they held a phd in a scientific field...)

> You say its not proved but yet i remember you telling me (in my perpetual motion thread) with the upmost certainty that i can not get more energy out of a system than i put in - because of a sciencific rule.

The "rule" is a scientific law, or physical law of science if you want to be very specific, called the convservation of energy. From wiki: "[It] is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical behavior. They are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific community."

Universally accepted basically means we don't waste time arguing about it anymore. It doesn't mean that we are correct, but rather we have never seen anything to indicate otherwise. We accept these laws the same way we accept that the sun will rise in the morning. I cannot know that it will rise until it does, but based upon my years and years of experience, and based upon the years and years of human experience, the sun has always risen in the morning; thus, I will not waste time worrying about what to do if it doesn't.

> But we now realize nothing can be truly tested!

Please explain.

> We become stuck because we cannot tell the difference between 2 particles

Of course we can. We can tell the difference between an electron and a proton by mass, by physical size, by charge, etc.

> Science is based on assumptions.

Science is based on repeatable observation. An assumption is a very small part of the scientific method called a hypothesis. The scientific method is used to demonstrate that the assumption is most likely correct or incorrect. As other scientists repeat the experiments, they add evidence that the assumption is correct or incorrect. Over time, the assumption may be accepted as true (which is not absolute), but only after many people have observed the described behavior of the assumption.

Cool,
i think that i and many others have misconceptions of what science is but this is an interesting debate and has brought me to a new view point!

Now when someone says 'science proves it' i can say 'No, science doesn't prove anything, its just a best guess based on analysis of consistencies'

???

In the context of this discussion, I think that is a fair statement.  However, the probability that what science considers "proven" is incorrect is small.  By the time something becomes a scientific law, the probability of error is almost zero... but... there is always the possibility... :smile:  (As my physics adviser used to say, "Alpha decay happens.")

Very true, many people don't understand science. I think the media is responsible for most misunderstandings. They often present things as proven/ultimate truths, without comments. These terms are, in some way, very wrong, especially in social science. It sure is easier to talk in these terms, but it does create a wrong understanding of science if that's all what people read. I use these words myself, but my definition of these words are more delicate than they might sound.

Let me give two nice qoutes that makes things more clear. It isn't handy to give this "warning" every time you discuss a theory, but I think all people who do discuss science should know something about the ideas behind science:

"And physicists such as myself are acutely aware that the reality we observe--matter evolving on the stage of space and time--may have little to do with the reality, if any that's out there. Nevertheless, because observations are all we have, we take them seriously. We choose hard data and the framework of mathematics as our guides, not unrestrained imagination or unrelenting skepicism, and seek the simplest yet most wide-reaching theories capable of explaining and predicting the outcome of today's and future experiments."
- Brian Greene

"According to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a scientific theory is 'a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.' No amount of validation changes a theory into a law, which is a descriptive generalization about nature. So when scientists talk about the theory of evolution--or the atomic theory or the theory of relativity, for that matter--they are not expressing reservations about its truth."

Yes but the chances increase when a theory is based on other theories! And every theory is based on another theory!!!

A small error in the original theory leads to more and more errors in any theory based on that?

What is the most proven thing humans know? it can only be 'i think therefore i am'

This is the flaw i'm thinking of.

Not every theory is based on another theory. What theory are you talking about?

If a theory is based on another theory, the new theory will be evaluated again by the scientific community. If that new theory is accurate and elegant in predicting/simulating reality(experiments) it will become a generally accepted theory.

The only way to come to the conclusion that a well tested theory is incorrect, is when experiments/observations were wrong. It is also possible that a theory is not as universal as thought when it fails to predict new experiments. That doesn't make a theory incorrect, but less general.

I'm borrowing this from a post in http://www.blackclover.com.au/bboard/viewtopic.php?t=119
I believe this to be a good argument against science.

From Lunyu December 24, 2001

In the “highly developed” technological society of today, the problems that face the public include environmental, air, and water pollution brought on by misapplication of technology, declining morality and increasing social and economic turmoil. Many people may have noticed that the human world is becoming increasingly devoid of spiritual content as technology develops. Many people may ask, “Where will today’s science lead us? What is the direction of future developments in science and technology?”

If humanity can calmly take a fresh look at this so-called “development” and “progress,” it might choose a new direction for future development. Mankind cannot just watch shadows on the cave wall anymore. A way to access truth is desperately needed. It is time for mankind to think “outside the box” and explore a new path for the future development of science and culture, to provide pure insight to those with open minds and pioneering spirits.
1) Modern Science Has Its Limits

Modern science has changed the way humans live over the last 200 years. Technology seems to have made life “easier,” but at a very high price in terms of the physical and emotional side effects and the decline in moral standards and quality of life.

Can mankind see the limits of science and technology? In the last century, for instance, nuclear energy has made the production of electricity much easier and cheaper. Yet in the form of weaponry, nuclear energy has also nearly been used to destroy civilization on several occasions. Manned flight has made the world very small, but has provided new opportunities for terrorism.

Mankind believes that it is making progress and developing. It does not see that these so-called advances are in fact simply producing more problems. In other words, mankind is trying to solve problems caused by it’s own development without realizing that every “solution” may spawn another ten new problems. Mankind tends to follow science, which ignores all that lies beyond the boundary of that which can be measured by its instruments.

2) Modern Science Is Based on an Inadequate Foundation

Modern science is based on empirical science and does not accept or admit spirituality. Its understanding of matter is wrong. The material world is all that exists according to science. It is therefore very difficult for science to discover anything beyond the boundary of the material world. Science has been made absolute and become an absolutist belief but ignores its boundaries. Today it is very difficult to explore the limits of science. People’s desire for material goods is drastically increasing. Mankind totally abandons moral restrictions in the pursuit of fame and personal interest.

Science only pays attention to people’s material needs. It excludes spiritual fulfillment while it has been used to encourage and strengthen people’s desires to conquer, invade and take away the material benefits enjoyed by others. It does not concern itself with the existence of spirituality or the concept of morality. Some of its advocates consider humanity as something separate from nature and the environment. They ignore the harmonious relationship between mankind and the natural world in which we live and, instead, their recommendations have led to serious problems and conflicts between humanity and nature. Following such recommendations as led humanity to damage and perhaps eventually destroy nature and the environment. The truth is, environmental problems are caused by the erosion of moral standards.

3) Modern Science Is Approaching an Impasse

Has modern science brought a more peaceful and a more harmonious life for mankind? No, it has not thus far provided a better, more stable, and more harmonious environment for mankind. Instead, there is severe environmental pollution, drastic ecological damage, increasing conflicts between people and nations, continual natural disasters, new diseases, and so on. There is crisis, trouble, and uncertainty. Unrestrained application of modern science has set mankind against the nature that has nurtured it. The more intense this conflict, the more tribulations and uncertainty it will bring to mankind. So-called “development” simply leads to more “new” problems requiring further “development.” Eventually mankind will be caught in a vortex and will no longer be able to escape. Humankind will be more and more confused and lost.

Modern science is reaching a dead end because it has excluded spirituality. The truth is, matter and spirit are united and cannot be separated. To maintain the development of science in a healthy way, it must accept spiritual content and morality. The damage to and pollution of the environment are caused by people’s unlimited exploitation of it as a consequence of lower moral standards. It is evidence of the decline of civilization and mankind. In the future, science and culture must respect moral principles. They must acknowledge spiritual experience and values. Only then can a new and healthy culture be born. Culture is not based on knowledge and academic research, but on the truth that gives guidance to mankind’s way of living.

Modern science is based on empirical science and does not accept or admit spirituality. Its understanding of matter is wrong. The material world is all that exists according to science.

This is a load of balony.

Of course all that science recognizes is the material world. This is because science is based on observations. If it can't be observed in any way approaching objectivity, then it can't be studied and so science has nothing to say about it.

Characterizing the fact that spirituality is beyond the purview of science as a bad thing is like stating that science is flawed because it doesn't recognize the existence of the Tooth Fairy.

The only reason science makes no statements about the Tooth Fairy (or matters spiritual or magical in general) is because the Tooth Fairy has never been observed. Provide observable evidence of some spiritual or magical thing and science will not only accept it, but likely create an entire new branch of science to study it.

Indeed, the history of science is replete with attempts to measure and study psychic phenomena, remote viewing, faith healing, [fill in the blank]. To date, EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT to study these things in a controlled environment where cheating and self-deception is prevented has resulted in exactly zero evidence that they exist outside the imagination of those who claim knowledge of the 'non-material world'.

Faulting science for not addressing things that, despite a lot of effort, just don't appear to exist no matter how hard science has looked demonstrates a refusal to accept the manifest truth and a deep ignorance of how science works on par with the most dogmatic of religious beliefs.

Theres plenty of things that have been observed by milliions of people since the dawn of man that science ignores.

UFO's and ghosts for starters. i know they exist (or something exists that causes people to see them) but generally scientists wouldn't touch them with a barge pole for fear of ridicule and discreditment of reputation.

Yes they are!

We've already agreed that all science is theory and nothing is fact - thus anything we build on is just theory on theory.
