How Science Got Sound Wrong
andy2900 posts12-16-2019 7:07pmWe all know the fate of any thread when people actually argue about what is "science". As they always say, ... yeah good luck with that. I think I'll go watch my paint drying. I guess when people cannot form coherent arguments against a concept that does not coincide with their world-view, they have to attack the underlying basis of how that concept was derived. Sort of weird here, as it appears to be an attempt to use science in a very anti-science attack. |
Science doesn't say there are no facts and all is theories. There are plenty of facts, theory explains them. Let go of a ball from the top of a building it falls because of gravity that's a fact, a theory tells us why, the current working theory of gravitation is Einstein's general theory of relativity. |

I though "science" was a done deal, but this thread shows otherwise. Now I have to think twice before drinking water because apparently science could be wrong and I have to think if water is good for my health. |

The who, the what, and the why always changes. And by the way drinking water, even the most pure water, has its problems... However, drinking too much water can also be dangerous. Overhydration can lead to water intoxication. This occurs when the amount of salt and other electrolytes in your body become too diluted. Hyponatremia is a condition in which sodium (salt) levels become dangerously low. Which btw has become a problem among endurance athletes ( there is even a TED talk dedicated to this problem )....who thought, like you, drinking water is , uhhh, just drinking water. |
