Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Science is not about predictions, falsification, or experimentation. Science is about presenting
a theory in a logical manner. The definition of science also makes no provision for mathematical equations. An equation is
just a description, and a description alone is not science. A scientific theory consists of an explanation. The juror should
be able to visualize what the prosecutor has on his mind. This means that the prosecutor should be able to make a movie
of his dissertation. The juror can visualize a theory only if the prosecutor puts shapes on the screen. A scientific theory
absolutely requires a physical object. Here I justify these arguments and show that without a physical object, the presenter
cannot possibly be giving a rational dissertation, let alone be doing Science.
| Aaah, Bill! This is what science is all about. I put this little drop in here like this and, if my prediction is correct, nitroglycerin will free you of asthma forever. |
