Do you, /sci/, believe our scientifically based educations will ever become outdated? Over the course of the last century, our understanding of -- or rather our perception of -- fields such as chemistry has continually been reworked and old views scrapped. With events such as planetoids gaining kinetic energy from unknown, massless sources which -- although proven to occur -- are unable to be explained by today's science, will something as simple as the Electron be disproven in the fturure?

everything will be disproven eventually. Education in general is a bad idea.

Don't be silly. You're proposing we start from scratch? You teach what is known, so that future scientists and either support or replace the knowledge through experimentation, thats how we grow. And don't use the word "Proof" or prove, its loaded.

Thing about science is, shit isnt just plain wrong, its just "less correct". We've got a long way to go until we know things are completely true. If it were all completely false, our planes wouldnt fly, our buildings would collapse and we'd all die from a measles outbreak.

There have been completely wrong models that worked.

Our education is always "outdated" as we discover further.
Every instant around the world, discoveries occur that "outdate" our education.
What a childish question.

bro, if electrons don't exist, i'm a little confused as to which physical theories were used to construct your computer.

Such as?

Even if there are, more correct models should work better.

What are you talking about?
What models?
How much "more"?
Why "should" they work "better"?
And what do you refer to as "better"?

And how is any of this relevant to my post at all?

My question is, what kind of models have worked that were completely wrong?

>theories
Try Coulomb's law, Ohm's law & Faraday's law, all of which came before J.J. Thomson discovery of the electron.

Computers, theoretically speaking, work more off of conceptual framework of charge rather than the recognition of (negative) charge coming in discrete units.

ES POSSIBLE.
