Science doesn't work by consensus

Thursday - 21Feb2019 Filed in: Quotes & Thinkums&Morality & Modern Life&Ecology

❝❝Science doesn't work by consensus. Science works by explaining existing phenomena AND accurately predicting what happens next. Scientists are people too and they can see where the money and power are coming from. Very few want to speak against that. Sometimes the ones who have disputed the consensus have been attacked and discredited without the argument ever being addressed.❞❞
