Nature of Science by wonderingmind42 (1 of 3)

This is a reupload of part of a video series by wonderingmind42 called "How it all ends". The series is about the issue of global climate change, but this section deals specifically with the nature of the scientific method.

There is an active community of commenters on the original videos. If you have questions or comments about climate change, they would be best directed there.

I'm surprised there arent more comments here...I'm inclined to agree with you...excepting that I would not count critical thinking and scientific thinking as synonymous...and the video isn't quite 3 minutes through....darn slow connection

Wow, this Richard Buckminster Fuller who coined the quote,

"Everything you've learned in school as 'obvious' becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe....."

was surely an extraordinary guy.

Plus, independent confirmation would help.
