Chang'e probe: First pictures from moon’s ‘dark side’[^] This should have been given more attention by news organisations -- science is far more important than politics, because it never changes, and it really does rule our lives.

Hah, you beat me to the post, as I was reading the CNET article for a relevant quote before clicking post!

I guess that probe's really just ticking away the moments that make up a dull day :)

That's a joke right? Science always changes. It's the scientific way.

That's quite a common misapprehension. The science does indeed never change. How much we know of it, however...

What, do you think gravity was different before Newton wrote about it? Or that the Sun did indeed revolve around the Earth, because people believed it to be so? So yes, Science Does Not Change. That I've had to qualify that statement twice, in a forum that is populated by supposedly intelligent people, is somewhat annoying.

You used 2 examples where science has not changed, that we know of. Here's 2 where it has changed. Global warming and wine being good for you. And, here's a third, eggs being good for you. How the earth came about. Man evolving from apes. And http://eprints.brighton.ac.uk/17519/1/SSR%20September%202017%20121-129%20Sosabowski%20%26%20Gard.pdf[^]. So, not sure why you're up so high on your high horse. Maybe you meant something other than what you actually wrote?

That's alright Marc. Your post was at the top, so I read yours first. :-D
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.
Marc's posting must be more accurate, too, because it's more up-to-date.

And how exactly did the science change, in those instances? But let's not go into how little (i.e. absolutely bugger all) phrases like "good for you" have to do with science; just tell me how science changed, concerning global warming -- preferably citing textbooks, to show which laws of Physics changed.

Science said that they were good for you. Then they said they were bad for you. That is what we humans call change.

None. But science did not understand the laws and so science had to change. If you have a genuine desire to see examples of how it has changed, read the link I provided.

ok, if by "science" you mean "the laws of the universe, physics, chemistry, etc" then yeah, I agree. But most people understand science as "our current understanding of the universe, etc". Indeed science means "the study of knowledge, or what is knowable" hence, by definition, our grasp of such is always changing.

Your phrasing there confirms that the science doesn't change; only our grasp of it. Science is the mechanics behind the universe (including the functionality behind the tiny, inconsequential lumps of matter that move around and form opinions on how everything works). Our not knowing or comprehending all of science cannot change the way things work. It's like not knowing CSS doesn't make it not exist. Unfortunately.

Science is the organized body of knowledge to explain things, it does not exist without people to make theories, etc. Likely you mean the fundamental laws of physics don't change.

Ya, I think that's what he means. Although there's no way to prove that the laws don't change. ;)

Look up the definition of science.
The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. I don't see your point. "Systematic study ... through observation and experiment" does not mean "Have a quick shufty, form an opinion, and call it science" (despite its seeming to be the most common method of investigation, if all the click-bait is anything to go by). Scientific rigour demands that, without definitive proof (achieved through systematic yadda yadda), even correct opinions and theories remain as only opinions and theories. Don't confuse cack-handed opinions, statistics, and marketing guff about "what is good for you" with science.

That statement itself shows that theories are not science, but are only a step on the way toward it. Only after proof do theories become part of the "organised body of knowledge", because only after proof can they be termed "knowledge", rather than "opinion" or "theory". And proving that some complex foodstuff is "good for you" is pretty much beyond our current capabilities, given the umpty-gazillion chemical interactions that go on daily within the human body, so statements to the effect are not science.

My point is that I felt you were confusing the human study which is science with the laws themselves (I mean here the actual dynamics governing physical universe) when you said
Quote:
Science Does Not Change
. But then, later in your response above you seem to agree that "science" is the study, so maybe I am mistaken. I have little doubt you understand all this.
Quote:
complex foodstuff
Sounds like you need breakfast.
