Lol, I meant it genuinely. Not as a dig. If someone has studied science properly (not sure if your high school counts to be honest because most schools don't teach science, they teach lists of facts determined by science) they should know all this as basic.tahayassen said:Ouch. That hurt, because I have studied science.
edit: I'm not sure if high school science counts.
Scientists use the scientific method to determine if a statement is scientifically true. This involves formulating a hypothesis, conducting experiments or observations, and analyzing the data to draw a conclusion.
A statement is considered controversial in the scientific community if it goes against established theories or if there is a lack of evidence to support it. It may also be controversial if it goes against commonly accepted beliefs or if there is disagreement among scientists.
No, a statement cannot be considered scientifically true unless it has been thoroughly tested and supported by evidence from multiple studies. A statement that is not widely accepted may still be under debate and requires further research to determine its validity.
Peer review is crucial in the scientific process as it allows other experts in the field to evaluate the methodology, results, and conclusions of a study. This helps to ensure the accuracy and validity of the statement before it is accepted as scientifically true.
Yes, there are limitations to determining the scientific truth of a statement. Some factors that may affect the accuracy of a study include sample size, bias, and external influences. Additionally, scientific knowledge is constantly evolving and new evidence may arise that challenges previously accepted statements.
