Doing real science can transform how we think | Isabelle Kingsley | TEDxUNISA

Isabelle Kingsley needed to confess: she was a science teacher who didn’t understand how science is done For long, science was taught to be about cold hard facts. We learnt these facts in lectures and textbooks. We wrote them down and remembered them. But scientists had discovered these cold hard facts by flying kites or sitting under apple trees. REAL science comes from REAL experiment.
Isabelle started her illustrious teaching career at 7 years old. She is a researcher who explores the science of science education. She co-founded and led the annual Sydney Science Festival to captivate the curiosity of young and old in pubs, opera theatres, alleyways and all kinds of other quirky, unexpected and entertaining places.

"It is accurate to say that humanity has advanced through the efforts of a very small percentage of the population. This percentage must grow for humanity to be able to meet the great and global challenges that face humanity-problems that have been created here and problems in the Greater Community as well." “There is no reason why a man or woman of science cannot have profound Mystery in life.” Wisdom from the Greater Community "People want many things, but if they are not having the deeper experience, then they are only dealing with their ideas. They are debating their ideas. They are arguing over their ideas. They are trying to understand the ineffable with their ideas! They are trying to comprehend with their ideas! That is like asking your hand to understand your mind. That is like asking a child to understand the world. The Power and Presence of God in the world is far beyond human estimation and human evaluation. True faith and true adherence comes from a deeper place, from the very soul, the very heart of you, the center of your Being." God’s Power & Presence in the World All quotes are from Marshall Vian Summers

Few people ever talk about our mind, intuition, and imagination. "the inner space" holds many useful understandings"

[@mystickhal]

Well as appealing as this idea might be it is unfortunately plain wrong. The inner space can make you feel emotions, it can make you feel a sense of wonder, it can help you to reason, it can even make you feel a wrong sense of understanding, but it doesn't hold any truth by itself. Only observing the world with appropriate methods (science), leads to understanding.

Ab 10:00 etwa..."you don't need fancy equipment"...what, do not need spezialiced and expensive equipmend for real and expressive science? Maybee in the "kindergarden" it is so. But if you want to explore the most fascinating phenomena, you very quickly reach the end of the line of feasibility and expressiveness with children's toys or simple tools. How do they research quantum computing with an archaic toolbox from the last millennium? You can't. How do you research electromagnetic radiation with a simple radio or a voltmeter? That is only possible to a very limited extent. Research into the origin of life would be an undertaking that can only be realistically achieved in perfectly simulated environments, and we humans obviously can't manage that at the moment anyway, because we are too unsuspecting about the potentially influential conditions and pay too little attention to what is going on in this "laboratory"... this simulated habitat.... has to be thought of. Not to mention that the first Mars mission will probably (as the preparatory art currently looks) be a crashing disaster if the knowledge of life support and energy production does not soon change/improve in a really useful way. Correct is that there is no guidance, only correctly asked questions and intended conditions. The correct questions are at the same time the rudimentary fulfilment of the falsification attempt.

[@JugglinJellyTake01]

Since when did high school have a particle accelerator, or their own sateliites? Let's take two weights of different mass and drop them from a height and see which hits the ground first. Lets now think what happens when we tether the two masses. Do they fall faster because of the heavier mass or slower because of the lighter mass? Ever heard of thought experiments? This is about teaching sience and teaching the thinking processes involved in science.

[@franciscodelbarrio2101]

Science is an universe 🌌

[@peterclark6290]

The core problem of Science is the simple realisation that we rely on humans to conduct the research. Humans can be vain, greedy, ambitious and dishonest.... Peer review and replication were added to the 'method' to try to overcome these inbuilt shortcomings. Citations seems to be the best indicator of the value of any 'finding.' But it has to be acknowledged that we may never be privileged to know and Science is the only process (so far) that can get us even close. Another persistent problem was alluded to in the video; the capacity for individual scientists to struggle to accept other scientist's findings into another process that is known as non-categorical thinking. That is the province of the mind of the philosopher (mostly.) Hence Science needs urgently a world-wide body to catalogue and value/rank the papers and also the deal with the press or media who are always on the lookout for the sensational (to sell advertising space.) When individual Scientists refuse to be interviewed by these trolls Science will take a giant leap forward. Another leap forward will occur when it becomes self-funding - that should have been an early goal - another use for such a global body.

[@mtlmmd2480]

It's a shame that most my life, i haven't been able to think critically in front of other people's because of emotions and reactions. They also do not care or listen, as it as to be, exactly, as they have been thought or as they know things to be. I thought studying sciences at uni and learning the periodic table by hearth would help me bringning the questions in people's mind, including close relatives and doctors but nothing changed. I feel like even with a PHd i'll still be called a conspiracy theorist or a lunatic. If i show up on cnn then i will be right... in 10 years from niw, or next time they will realise i was right, they will still ignore the subject at 100%... why ? Why do people have to think that there is definitive answer to everything ? Was is it that hurts them in not being 100% sure of everything they think is right ? What's wrong with questioning things ? It took me a few years of science to realise that, we didn't actually know anything just yet, what i was learning was just the best theory we had come up with so far. What we see and what we feel also just an illusion, the fastest way our brain could analyse our surrounding, not actually what our surrounding really is... Science will die without critical thinking. Thank you for reminding our brothers and sisters. Together we will get far. We could do so very fast.

Science is not a "noun" but a "verb". When peoples treat it like a noun then contradictions and superstitions arise same as in religion. Any principle of a particular phenomenon , just defines the limitness of our intellectual mind at that point of time but not the phenomenona completely. Science is beyond any limit

The jury is not out about how life started on earth at all. Just because science does not know does not mean the jury is out. It just means that science needs to fine a way to violate the first law of thermodynamics. Doing real science is just a method. Trying to work out the cause of an effect. That's it. That's science. I wonder if this lady realises the difference between science and pseudoscience.

So, I kinda get what you're talking about, but you're wrong. It's certainly true that science stresses epistemology over ontology. However, you can't then prostlyse an approach that attempts to look at the lifeworld (ontology) from an epistemlogical and fact-gathering perspective. Your methodology is never clear of the field/experience/history of which you are apart
