[QUOTE="Subduction Zone, post: 73844916, member: 321072"] That brings up a very important point that some do not seem to understand. In the sciences one actively tries to prove one's ideas wrong. One cannot have a scientific hypothesis, much less a theory, if one does not have a reasonable test that can refute it. In fact one often learns more when an idea is shown to be wrong than when an idea is confirmed. For example in the news the first every pictures of black holes were just released. But scientists knew what they would look like before that event occurred. The math of relativity can be used to make predictions of what a black hole would look like and these images looked exactly like that. So it was nice that relativity and the existence of black holes was confirmed, but in some ways it would be nice if the images did not match predictions. That could have led to a whole new series of discoveries. [/QUOTE]
