Homework 10

Q1) We discussed in class how there is no such thing as a "scientific proof." Explain in your own words.

There is no such thing as a scientific proof as science primarily deals with theories and hypotheses. A scientific theory is a hypothesis supported by observation and the documentation of the outcomes of the experiments aimed at proving or disproving the hypothesis. However, there is no ultimate proof that a scientific theory or hypothesis holds in all outcomes or situations as we do not have a universal knowledge and understanding of everything there is to know in science; for example, there is a possibility that an experiment could disprove the theory of relativity, we just don't know what experiment that is. Therefore in science, an absolute proof is almost always impossible. Science purely tries to explain things by finding evidence supporting the hypothesis.
