What distinguishes two scientists? What distinguishes philosophers
years two scientists?
Muitas Quando pessoas em is empenham explain that acreditam ou ou pensam - a maior das Conversations is part disso - Tenho semper tempted to suggest they speak to me only what is already proven. "If there's been shown? What do you say if there is already proven? "
course we could talk about many things that have not yet been able to prove: for example, there are the aliens? God created the universe? And to be sure that one-third of matter that exists is unclear - that is, we have no idea what it is - will arrive one day, you know? This type of questions is by the second large group of dogmatic: scientists.
The first large group, in exchange, the form those who have never considered surprising facts the great scientific discoveries. Not interested in science, which has always opposed to philosophy, his favorite discipline. "Look at that - they often say - has had a splendid dream which anticipated with incredible detail what would happen to me today." Are the same people who do not usually want to change the view, because they consider it a kind of confession that they had misleading; not wish for anything in the world stop being who they are.
The second group - the so-called themselves "scientists" - can be as dogmatic as the first. They act as if they had never heard the basic principle that starts the whole scientific method: "I will suggest to them that a thesis has been able to prove it and that, therefore, not until another show me otherwise, that's it," said the founders of the positive method. 'I say, "says one day the great scientist Newton-that time is absolute and equal for everyone', it was the argument he's proven unspoiled nature of time. Until Einstein came shortly after and proved that time was relative, that identity and its duration depended on the speed at which shifted the subject whose time was measured and the gravitational mass that surrounded him.
The first group, though, clings to the eternal truths and half truths they are forever. The dogma can not change the password to pass around us. The dogmatists are estranged with the necessary humility to accept that things can change, starting with their own beliefs and themselves.
my God! Do not tell me that it is not surprising that most of mankind, immersed in a world of changing genders, races, seasons, ages and thoughts, has clung to a few basic ideas of character supposedly permanent.
"What I tell you always been so and always will be."
the dogmatists of the second group, who call themselves "scientific", in exchange, it costs them to admit one day in the distant future, science will end by saying that there is already discovered all I could find and that the brain does not for more. Over the past three million years the human brain, measured relative to the body, has been multiplied by three. Right now we do not know whether this brain, which evolution has been plotting to survive rather than to discover the origin of matter and the universe will continue to be a kind of chore well suited to protect from earthquakes and social nature. Or if, instead, we turn to allow us all the secrets of life and the universe. What we do know is that one can be dogmatic in dois tout two groups, not two crent and not two scientists, not and not gauche droite. Eduardo Punset
