Debunking the Myth of Science

No, I am not irrational, but I do wish to highlight our deviation from the idea of scientific method.

What is Science ?

Science is a truth derived by means of scientific method. What is scientific method then ? It is a process involving following stages:

• Observation of an unknown event.
• Putting forward Hypothesis or theory that can explain the occurrence of that event.
• Predicting output by means of proposed hypothesis or theory.
• Rigorously examining the validity of prediction by analyzing the output by means of empirical method, i.e. registering by means of sensors, either natural or electronic.
• Accepting, modifying or rejecting the proposed hypothesis on the basis of validity of prediction.

And above all, an open-endedness of the process, which means, the process being always open to new observations that doesn’t support accepted hypothesis.

Science for commoner

Consider everything that you know which you regards to be scientific, now, have you arrived at that knowledge by means of scientific method ? The answer will be yes but on closer examination, it will be found out that most of commoner’s so called scientific knowledge comes from the authority on which he or she trust of performing diligent scientific enquiry.
