There is no truth in science | Kamala Patel | TEDxCalgary

[@henryf6539]

Never think of “science” as a conclusion. It is a method of exploration. The scientific process is not meant to provide the truth, but to provide a model of reality consistent with most of the observations.

[@karlazeen]

It provides inconclusive steps towards the truth of many things.

[@kristianthompson3714]

science is a lie lets speak truth no more lies

[@eurosonly]

People really don't know this? Nothing in life is simple and clear cut and it can never be answered with a simple yes or no. Almost everything is on a case by case basis. if you expect an easy answer in life to solve your problems you're only limiting your scope of knowledge as to how to fix those issues. Take the time to understand the issue and absorb all that evolves around it to get a clear picture.

[@GeorgWilde]

If two people voluntarily exchange apple and 10 cents did they have opposite preferences regarding the choice between apple and 10 cents at that very moment? Does each feel better off at that very moment? If you can't give a clear answer to that question, then you are nuts. And you can apply that universaly to any voluntary transaction. Example of an economic truth that is clear cut and universal. Nobody remembers anything before few mants before his brith. Universal and clear cut. Making water approach boiling temperature won't make it freeze before it evaporates. "take time", "evolve" - Those terms you use are very theoretical and overarching.

[@mawnkee2921]

Words of wisdom: It’s okay to base your conclusions on evidence, logic, reason, and proof of evidence. But as my Microbiology professor told me ‘In science there are no conclusions. Conclusions can never be made in science because of the fact that anything can happen.’ This is true for all things. Saying that evolution is a possibility is logical. But saying that evolution and the theory of evolution is factual and happened for sure is foolish. Basing research, evidence, and experiments around the stipulations of what you find is perfectly fine. Hence the reason why we believe that our interpretations of chemistry, the past, and things we can’t see are mostly correct. For example, if I perform a test in chemistry, it’s to test the hypothesis that a reaction will work according to what evidence we have collected. But to say that our understanding of things we can’t see is final is foolish. The simple thing is, we don’t know definitely. But we have a good guess

[@marleonetti7]

science is not defined as a conclusion or a fact or a truth . it is simply and only defined as the pursuit of knowledge , thats it ! yet there are people and politicians out there claiming that we should " believe the science " as if science is defined as some type of religion or indisputable truth . when political leaders are urging the people to believe and not question the science then u know it is corrupt and tyranical and trying to hide behind the word science in order to stop all questioning of their authority , their rules , their regulations , and above all their power .

All scientific knowledge is provisional, until we discover something new. It is the best knowledge we know at this time. But if science can't come up with the truth, then nothing can.

[@kristianthompson3714]

try opposite

[@MoonlightDusk]

What? Then that is no different than saying that science is the truth since science is the utmost. First, prove to me that science is the utter best knowledge that we know for all things. If you cannot, then why do you even say that?

[@Sonnenschein_Maedchen]

​@@MoonlightDusk I mean what do you think truth even is? Define truth for me then we can talk about this.

[@RheemQ]

​@@Sonnenschein_MaedchenYou people are such sheep it actually amazes me how much faith you put in science. All science ever truly was is theories and hypothesis. Outside of the study of the human body what has science ever truly gotten right? And don't tell me the big bang because that's still just a theory. Amazing to me how easily you people believe something as long as a scientists says it. Funny, science can't explain NDE's and don't tell me chemicals and hallucinations because neurologists have already debunked that theory because I know that's what you pseudo intellectuals love saying.

[@michellebadillo7574]

Nothing is permanent. Change is inevitable. as the great philosopher and mathematician Descartes once said: “To live without philosophizing is in truth the same as keeping the eyes closed without attempting to open them.” “In order to seek the truth, it is necessary once in the course of our life to doubt, as far as possible, of all things.” “It is only prudent never to place complete confidence in that by which we have even once been deceived.” Scientists continue their research because they know an idea is not written in stone and they know they could be wrong. Society can learn from this scientific process. To have an open mind. If you don't question, are you really thinking? Will you ever advance? Will you come with a new solution to your problem when another fails, even if it once worked before? Time is in flux. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE. There isn't one answer. You can't always trust statistics. Never only yes or no. Great video!

If you care about truth in science (e.g. physics or biology), read the Science section of my article "Ethics and Truth in Science" - start by typing "H. Tomasz Grzybowski" in Google, then go to the Research Gate page or to Academia page and find the article - download it and read it.

[@thomaswright7325]

The deductive method would not work if there was no truth. In order for there to be something that is false, by definition, there must me something that is true. We may never find it; It may very well be impossible for beings who analyze their surroundings via neurocomputational processes, as we do, to ever be able to discover or comprehend it. But that doesn't mean it's not there.

[@01assassinscreed63]

There nothing like absolute truth

[@karlazeen]

@@01assassinscreed63 That doesn't seem to exist though.

[@themostgraciousqueenmarger2015]

Science is true when built upon mathematical equations that have a basis in infallible truths aka theorems. Logic is so important because it is the technique used to reason out the truthfulness of a theorem or equation. As of 1990, a new correct universal equation was discovered by Professor Gabriel Audu Oyibo, the most intelligent Mathematician of all time.

[@EKDupre]

Also, how can anything retain a property, any property, 'for all time'? Do you think that there is some magical 'ultra-perfect' equation out there, that once given grants you godlike powers akin to Dr. Manhattan?

[@abduladil7332]

Mathematics is based upon axioms which are self evident truths how do you reconcile between you're statement and mine?

[@Poopopotamusgaming]

The mathematical equations themselves can be true but what they are describing and being used to demonstrate is completely subjective. You can mathematically prove what we call “gravity” exists, but you cannot prove that “gravity” as we understand it is real.

[@iconsworld9]

The title of this video is contradictory or self-defeating. BEcause if you say that there's no truth to science. In other science is the truth, or what really happens. Or what is real. If that's not true, then the statement there's no truth can't be true too, it undercuts the whole line of the truth.

[@MortyrSC2]

I didn't like this presentation, it seemed like a trick with semantics. Science is a way to approximate the truth about the universe. Our knowledge may be limited and prone to future reiterations (hence approximation), but it doesn't mean that the truth does not exist - the universe works in certain ways, which we can discover.

[@01assassinscreed63]

There is nothing like truth and apple doesn't fall due to gravity and it can be changed. Also truth is religious fact is Scientific

[@01assassinscreed63]

There is no such truth in Science. And truth in Science are approximate truths not absolute truths

[@01assassinscreed63]

We never discovered reality as it is. Furthermore Science is an explanation for reality not reality as it is

[@jonjonboi3701]

The presentation is brilliant because what she says is true and pure wisdom

[@chrisdechristophe]

Click bait title, this woman is just taking ages to say the obvious, that science is an ongoing search for the objective truth. Plus I learnt from her little story that she made some basic errors. Plus I found her use of the term us at the end a little condescending.

[@josephmarsh5031]

The original meaning for true was more like straight. An arrow flies true. that sort of thing. I've always viewed the word truth as kind of a proverbial four letter word be cause It means different things to different people. As such I try to avoid using the word to refer to anything factual... So yeah. I love the title.
