RE: Trust the Science?

This is really hard to state nicely. (too many pieces)

That isn't science, it's astronomy.
The science has not come up with formulas for the planets movements.
(except recently, but they are ignoring her work)
Einstein's theories are better than Newtons, but still do not explain, or give us a formula for predicting planets' movements.
Instead, they know the cycles, and the repeat patterns, and just interpolate from there.

That isn't science, it's engineering and trial & error.
Science doesn't know how microchips work.
The chip manufacturers actually ran into problems that went against the current science. So, now we talk about quantum tunnelling.

That isn't science, it's chemical engineering.
The science cannot explain why LiIon batteries break down like that.
Although we can observe it, plan for it, and try things to see if we can stop it.
The science is also wrong about how batteries work.

Here is a mind blowing piece of information.
If American doctor goes to Africa, and the perform medicine, it works.
If African person, learning from doctor, tries to do the same thing after doctor went back to America, it doesn't work.

Probably more than half our medical-chemical knowledge is plain wrong, and has a lot more to do with belief in doctors and medicine, then what chemically happens in the body.

Another piece is micro dosing. Like, 1:100,000 active chemical. It works. But how? Its a tiny amount of the actual drug. Much too small to actually do anything.

"Science" has been going the wrong way for too long.
Declaring things settled, when there are glaring holes in the theories believed.

imo the modern science textbooks will be thrown out within 50 years.

Science is a process of philosophical inquiry which encompasses physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, medicine, etc.

Not to be rude, but you're offering a lot of unsupported assertions in your comment. Just to start, you say, "The science has not come up with formulas for the planets movements." But they have. Orbital mechanics involve a complex interaction of gravitational fields, but astronomers can calculate planetary movement with high precision, and make accurate predictions as a result. When there is an error between prediction and outcome, it doesn't mean science has failed, it means there are variables previously unknown, and this has led to new discoveries.

When people are dogmatic, it is a failure of scientists, not the scientific method.

Remember, as "proof" for the Theory of Relativity? They said that Newton's formulas didn't explain (give a mathematical formula for) Mercury's orbit. They said that Einstein's theories explained it better. (that was to 96% accuracy)

So, up to the point of this female astronomer came up with her explanations/formulas working equal areas in equal times, in 3 dimensions, we haven't had a mathematical formula for the orbit of Mercury. Her formulas are 99.9999% accurate.

Then you go deeper and you find that we don't have formulas at all for any of the planet's orbits.
What we have is tables, based on positions calculated on repeating cycles.

What we do not have is a all encompassing formulaic explanation of where the planets are.

Right now we can't get comet returns very accurately. You would think we would, but what we have gives a 10 year window. And sometimes it doesn't show up again.

Now, what quantum physics has found is that the observer affects the observed.

So, the entire basis of the scientific method is wrong. It relies on a assumption that the observations can be made without knowing anything about the observer. And this is false.

Thus, we will have to come up with new scientific methods where we include the factors of the observer observing.

Like, the double slit experiment. When the electron is unobserved, it goes through BOTH slits (at the same time) and interferes with itself. But, when it is watched, it goes only through one slit.

And it may be that atoms do not exist, unless you are looking for atoms.

!LOL !DOOK !PGM !BBH !LUV !BEER !PIZZA !WRD
You talk to yourself with your alt accounts, which is a clear sign that you need help. Even the people you speak to have said that you need help, but they're too afraid to say it to your face in fear of being downvoted.
You're inflicting harm on others, and it's time for you to take responsibility for your actions Stop the abuse on Hive and get the help you need.
Understand you're not just hurting individuals, but you're also killing Hive with your abuse LOL, we have exposed you and the Buildawhale farm scam.
You've used your downvotes to abuse people on Hive for years, and it's clear that you did the same thing on Steemit transactions don't lie people do people like you.
What are you burning LOL let's not forget that the supply of Hive is unlimited LOL, so you're not even contributing to the scarcity of the token. All you do is make curation rewards and make our votes worth less.

You're not interested in building Hive, but rather in profiting from Hive and abusing Hive and hivers you are sad.

You shouldn't have any power on Hive, as all you do is abuse it and contribute nothing to the community.
Sadly you find joy in bullying people online, it only goes to show that you have serious mental issues.
