If I falsify something, haven’t I simply verified its converse? Isn’t this a sort of proof by contradiction that science cannot verify, or falsify anything?

It seems to me that there is a strange asymmetry in logic that is assumed in Science.
Please don’t confuse me with some Luddite and proclaim the virtues of science through technological achievement. If you do so, you are completely missing the point of my question.

In another week or less on January 11, 2010 the release of a great new product for all of us internet marketers looking to break out into financial success and that product is Niche Blueprint. This is the second time for this product but it is coming with many updated items and also some great new tools. If you would like to read the Niche Blueprint 2.0 Review just visit my site at wwwcommissionblueprint2.com

Now if you are just starting out in the internet marketing arena, I suggest taking a few baby steps and that means starting out with the Mining Money Online program that is taylored just for newbies in the affiliate marketing business and it comes at a price that every one can afford of $77

Verification is for math and logic, not science. To pull a common statement from logic, "All men are mortal." To falsify this, you would "just" have to find a man who is immortal. To verify this, you would have to kill off everyone in the world to prove that everyone can die. Not very feasible, especially as you would have to include yourself.

What science does your school teach in each grade?

Posted by admin | 27/08/10 | Tagged Science

This is how it goes in my school:
6th grade- Science in general
7th grade- Life Science
8th grade- Earth Science
9th grade- Physical Science
10th grade- Biology
11th grade- Chemistry
12th grade- None

Also, 9th grade takes Health.
I don’t know if that counts as a Science class.

6th-Earth Science
7th-Life Science
8th-Physical Science
9th-Chemistry
10th-Biology
11&12 are varying

I’m a soon-to-be US college graduate, and I’ve been thinking about the fact that many of the high-demand jobs out there (medicine, nursing, engineering) are very science-based.

However, I am getting out with a liberal arts degree, and even as a child I’d found science subjects to be immensely difficult. There was too much memorization, it seemed so arcane and boring, and required intense study for long long periods of time.

How can we make science easier for young people today?

Bill Nye the Science guy!!

I’m starting the planning for a book that’s targeted at kids in 5th-6th grade, and could be used as a classroom science supplement/science guide.
So any parents out there who help their kids with Science homework, or actual kids :) what subjects should I try to focus on?

This website has lots of topics and learning resources for science. It is UK based, but I think it will be a good starting place if you are if the USA too.

What science class should i take my senior year?

Posted by admin | 17/08/10 | Tagged Science

I have three choices: physics, environmental science, and aquatic Science. Im a junior at this moment. I heard that physics is alot of math and Im descent at math but im already going to take Precal and that already seems to much for me. The other two classes are supposed to be easy. Wat do you guys suggest? Thanks for answers.

Woo Hoo! for Environmental Science!!!! Great jobs being funded everywhere for that major! Aquatic science could be cool, too.

I hate science, like chemistry etc. But I would’ve thought that I would need to do a biology course for my HSC to get into psychology in university.
Is that right? If not what type of course will I need to take for science?
Also I only want to do general psychology, not social or biological etc.
Ah, @flingebunt I was planning of doing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, so it’s good to know that it minimizes the science involved.

There are actually 2 branches of psychology in many universities (though some only have one, the major universities in Australia both have 2). There is Psychology in the Science Faculty and Psychogy in the Arts Faculty.

So if you study Psychology inthe Science faculty you will need to do more science, while if you do it through the arts faculty you won’t.

Chemistry, Physics and Maths are essentials in Science, but biology is going to be more useful in psychology Chemistry and Physics. For maths, the main thing you need is statistics.

Science provoked different laws, theories and observations about each and every phenomena and still continue to explain such phenomena that is beyond our knowledge…. Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?. If yes, justify your answer, If not, can you please discuss an example of a phenomena that Science can’t really explain.

I get the impression that you don’t know what you’re asking. If science explains a phenomenon (phenomena is singlular; phenomena is plural), it is by definition not beyond our knowledge.

There are many phenomena that science has not satistfactorily explained. The expansion of the universe at an increasing rate is attributed to dark energy, but no one knows what dark energy is. Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but no one knows what dark matter is. It is still uncertain what gives subatomic particles their masses; the Higgs boson has been proposed as an explanation but has not yet been discovered. Relatively little is known about how the brain produces consciousness. There are still debates about the evolutionary basis of altruistic behavior. There are still debates about the existence of group selection. The origin of life is still largely unexplained, although progress has been made.
