Psychology is one science I don’t read up in much so I have no answer for that one
I like science more than you would expect. But I hate psychology. Pure quackery whose only solution is drugs, mashing your brain with a pointed object, and shocking your brain cells dead.
 
What happens when scientists say something contrary to scientists?
We demean them because you don't question science unless you are a scientist questioning science to confirm what "science" has already stated. Trust the science.
 
Science let you motherfuckers live past 40, and own a god damn digital device that connects to a worldwide computer network to try and debunk science.

Science says, you're welcome :hys:
How did Julius Caesar live past 40?
 
They do, and the general consensus wins.
I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.

Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.

That’s why the scientific method exists.


Long held “institutionalized” ideas of the expansion of the universe have been absolutely turned on their head lately.

Science creates technology, technology scrutinizes science.

False. Scientific studies, and papers are peer reviewed.

One guy can investigate, but many peers in the field must scrutinize his findings, and agree or disagree.
That's total bullshit. It's just not true. What it does is add confidence to the validity of the experiment and findings. "Peers" can be wrong and none are needed as mentioned.
 
chill Krull likes that kind of talk :ROFLMAO:
It doesn't make you sound intelligent. It makes you sound like street trash. I have a modicum of respect for you for motivating me to hit the bricks in my running boots so please do better next time.

And if they are ALL wrong, eventually new data will come in, and some new scientist will use such data to prove otherwise.
