It’s simpler than that. Science is literally just processes. Shit Happens. It’s not just a method to apply/employ, it’s very much the ‘music of the spheres’ situation where it will continue to play with or without ears to listen in on.Science is as simple as repeatability, reproducibility, and all the nuances in between (not everything repeatable will reproduce the same result—and some things may only happen once).There is -nothing- simpler. Stuff Runs.

science isnt statistics, not in general, its very true in special cases like medicine. I heard doctors say that medical science isnt about logic but about statistics, they just do a lot of observations and see what works, the body is so comples than trying to reason causes and effects in that context often doesnt works, logic is just self delusion, observations are real.

In science, 'theory' is pretty damn solid,
it's like a nuclear-powered supercarrier,
almost impossible to sink. To become a theory, it has to:1) explain all observed phenomena2) predict new phenomena3) the predicted new phenomena has then been verified by testingA 'theory' does all of (1)+(2)+(3), while 'hypothesis' is just (1)+(2).The layman's use of the word 'theory', even in the best case, is about the same as the scientist's 'hypothesis'.
In most everyday use it is just (1), and often fails even that.

What doesn't work doesn't get implemented, so it's bullshit. Instead of devaluing "applied", be grateful for it. Look at pure mathematics. It serves no purpose. It's meaningless. Be grateful for applied mathematics, because real breakthroughs come from fixing the flaws in implementation.

Nice thread, some cool takes in here.My thoughts: science is applied statistics because at some point humanity demanded consensus. That’s not all bad, I like looking at a high r value even though it doesn’t actually mean anything.Science these days is on its way out. I truly believe building a machine that can solve the mysteries of life is superior to trying to solve them ourselves at this point.Once the machines take control, we may very well realize that we can’t understand the theory of everything. That would suck, to put it bluntly.Then, the machines will probably get rid of us. Sucks to suck. I certainly think this is an impetus to put science on the back burner: try to make meaningful friendships and connections, and satisfy the other urges of man.

Radius r = 0.6 cm
Volume V_body = π × r2 × L
≈ π × (0.6)2 × 14
≈ 15.8 cm3// Ink Cartridge
Length l = 10 cm
Radius r_ink = 0.2 cm
Volume V_ink = π × r_ink2 × l

The best you can get in any situation is a probabilistic model.Theres so many variables in what occurs around us and inside of us that you'll never get absolute perfect future predictivity. This is actually a good thing.
