Philosophy of Science question:

Let's compile a list of the absolute presuppositions of Science.

Pic not related: It's the real EK.

Does this thread serve any purpose other than demonstrating the inane and irrelevant nature of /sci/ shitposting?

Science presupposes that the laws of nature are not purely relative to the observer (this is required for independent replication of experiments to provide a check on scientific accuracy). It also requires some positive beliefs about nature being in some sense predictable. If you repeat an experiment 100,000 times and always get the same result, would you assume that you should also get that result on the 100,001 time? Probably so, but you can't be sure. In the degenerate case, the underlying natural law could change for no apparent reason, providing a different outcome.

Yes. I was seriously asking for what ASSUMPTIONS /sci/ made when they did Science.

And..... I wanted to assert that EK is in fact Fat Bastard.

>> No.5054277

What if EK was SFBE?

>> No.5054283

Firstly, I assume that my senses and memory are accurate. Secondly, I assume that mathematics applies to the real world in the way it was designed to.

I cant think of a third assumption.

>> No.5054284

>>5054277
I had the exact same thought but SFBE is clearly more creative than EK.

A generalization which has held up til now will continue to hold in the future.
