Bas van Fraassen has centered a large part of his philosophical career on studying scientific realism and describing a form of anti-realism called constructive empiricism. Van Fraassen is certainly steadfast in anti-realist belief, but doesn’t seem to have to alter too much of the realist’s perspective to form his beliefs. According to his definition of scientific realism “Science aims to give us, in its theories, a literally true story of what the world is like.”1 This is not a statement that…

claim made against them could cause them to fall apart. When scientists claim that second hand smoking is harmful or that football players are at risk of brain damage, the tobacco industry and NFL will attempt to falsify the claims without proper evidence. The process by which the industries attempt to falsify the claims lacks in reliability and does not make clear the effects of the products to the public. Industries should be reevaluating their products to figure out whether or not the…

information and formulating it into a bigger picture that impacts the world. Scientific research usually has a goal to solve a problem in nature or develop technology that will positively lead to an unknown discovery. For example, a chemist will try to produce a cancer drug, but in turn, discover new methods of determining bond structures of a certain element. Science is always open to question and revision, because no one scientific idea is set and stone or proved. Because, science is always…

of forensic science is important to improve. It is important to improve forensic evidence in litigation law, such as the Rule 702 and cases like the Daubert case (National Research Council, 2009). This case if all scientific testimony and evidence in court must be reliable and relevant. This is directly related to forensic evidence being able to be accurate enough to be used as evidence. The factors of the evidence should be considered by a judge if the technique and or theory was subject to…

religion and science have been ongoing ever since both disciplines have co-existed in society. Can one accept scientific understandings of the world and still preserve their faith in a higher being? In order to analyze the compatibility of religion and science we should define each discipline. In this essay, science is knowledge of the natural world based on facts learned through empirical evidence, theories and data, while religion is the belief in a higher being without need of proof. I will…

What is the scientific method some people may ask? In the black box experiment I will be explaining what the scientific method. This paper will also include what the experiment is and how I discovered my hypotheses along with the theory to get my answer. I will also be explaining what some of these scientific terms are that you may not fully understand. The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments. Picture the scientific…

natural sciences have enabled us, scientific discoveries and updates are essentially never-ending, so there is no way to fully know when a specific conclusion is completely correct. Similar to many other scientific explorations, before Rutherford 's discoveries were published, his model of an atom was a belief based on personal knowledge and justified by his own experimentation and reasoning. Until Rutherford 's experimentation process was published, no evidence based on shared knowledge…

interventions with evidence-based practice to improve patient outcomes. Evidence base practice (EBP) will be of no good if the knowledge acquired is not used by the nurse to perform those bedside chores like assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation.…

between real and fake? Webster Dictionary defines it as “a system of theories, assumptions, and methods erroneously regarded as scientific” Knowing .what science exactly is isn 't just knowing certain facts such as the process of cell division to balancing chemical equations. In fact, it is the act of understanding the nature of science itself, finding valid evidence, conducting thorough experiments, weighing out the possibilities and finally, testing the hypotheses. In the end this makes it…
