Presentation transcript:

The Nature of Science Ideas are supported by testable and verifiable data or observation Science is a process or way to investigate nature. Scientific knowledge doesn’t mean possessing the truth. Science seeks consistency between observations and models

Science as a way of knowing There is an independent reality (but do we detect that?) Nature is understandable and predictable (if we know enough) Observations and experiments are reproducible or they are invalid Cause and effect relationships exist in nature The world is neither arbitrary or magic but can be mysterious

Quantitative Aspect of Science Ordinary language is unable to capture scale of precision necessary for scientific discourse Numbers and math are essential to discussion and understanding. Consistent Units of measurement are required for knowledge transmission and verification of experiments/observations

The Inevitable Conflict Science teaches us that we are in a partnership with nature. Human institutions often charge that nature is subservient to humans Our future is determined by which of these two philosophies is practiced – you can not do both Your evolution on any planet is determined by this choice  that is the environmental frame of Cosmology
