It consists of all the activities that result in a falsifiable model that predicts nature. The resulting model is science but contains nothing from the process that created it, i.e. no observations, no data, no tests ... it's just a falsifiable model that predicts nature. Science is not a process. Science is a collection of falsifiable models that predict nature. Again, there are no observations or data in the body of science. The scientific method is a process, and a very methodical one. It is a battery of tests that specifically try to show a falsifiable model is false, with extreme prejudice. The scientific method should be called the model assassin because it strives to kill dead and move on. The scientific method first cherry-picks the most potentially falsifying data, and then uses any other data available in its attempt to kill, kill, kill ... and it cares nothing for any supporting evidence suggesting the model might be true. The scientific method performs three categories of tests: 1. Internal consistency, i.e. that no part of the model contradicts any other part of the model. 2. External consistency, i.e. that the model doesn't contradict any other models in the body of science. 3. The model itself, i.e. does the model really predict nature as it purports. Falsifiability is a requirement of a model for the scientific method to accept it and to begin working on it. The scientific method cannot attempt to falsify an unfalsifiable model. . .

To this I would add a few clarifications of my own: Data is a form of observation. Whether an observation is direct using our own senses, or indirect using instruments, it is the same. Data is particularly abused. Anyone can claim a bunch of numbers. They mean nothing unless certain requirements are met: 1) The data must be raw data. It must not be adjusted in any way. The means no weighting, no fudging, no mucking with it at all. 2) The data must be published. Everyone must have access to it. 3) The source of the data must be published. The method of collecting the data, the instrumentation used, the calibration for that instrumentation, who collected, when, the limitations of the instrumentation used, and why the data is relevant must all be considered and published with the data itself. This includes the units of that data. 4) Summaries of the data (statistical analysis) must follow the rules and requirements of statistical input streams. The sampling method must use a random element independent of the data itself in any way. In the case of temperatures, for example, being used as a global average; sampling must be done independent of location (meaning equally space thermometers) and time (since the world rotates, has a mobile atmosphere and sea, and these factors affect the data being read). This means all thermometers must be read simultaneously. Due to 3), the calibration and accuracy of all thermometers must be known at the time of measurement, and this too becomes part of the meta-data that should be published with the raw data. Selection must be by randN or a [i]non-repeatable selection[/i (like dealing cards)]. Once a sample is picked, it cannot be picked again. Selection by randU (predictable random numbers) and randR (repeatable random numbers, like dice) are not allowed. randU introduces bias due to predictability, and randR introduces bias by possibly picking a selection twice or more. These summaries must include not only the average, but the margin of error of that average, the discard fence used for aberrant data, and the variance of the data. Any of this information that is missing renders the remaining information useless. 5) Data used to show trends MUST come from absolute values, due to 3). In addition, such trends must follow the requirements of statistical summary via 4). Edited on 21-09-2016 04:00 |

Science is not a set of models. It's an enterprise, an activity. Here's an alternative explanation of science: Science is a methodical enterprise that seeks to explain and predict the physical phenomena of the universe. Within science are three main bodies of information: 1. Data: This includes all scientific observations. Not all data is correct, even if scientifically collected. Thus, when making a statement based on data, the proportion of data that supports that statement is important. 2. Theories: These are testable, falsifiable explanations of physical phenomena. They can be supported or not supported by data; as such, if the body of data does not largely support a theory, something must be done, whether a modification of the theory or an explanation of why the data does not support the theory. (That is, perhaps the data is only looking at X, while it should also include Y. For the latter method of dealing with discrepancy to work, it must suggest more ways of observing data; if this data is collected and still the body of data disagrees with the theory, something must be done again. Theories are not generally accepted until the data supports them, so a theory cannot be extended indefinitely with "oh, if you just looked here the data would agree!") 3. Laws: These do not explain why, but rather state what. They are statements of patterns within data. They can be shown to be false, but only in a new scenario; laws always hold within the scenarios that the data they note patterns within were collected from. A good example is Newtonian gravity - it is a special case of general relativity if c >> the speeds under consideration. The scientific method is a method of scientifically explaining or obtaining knowledge. It involves making hypotheses or conjectures, following them to their logical and testable conclusions, and testing those conclusions. This either supports or does not support the hypothesis. |

It's a shame that you have such good ideas for what word should mean, but they already have meanings. Science is not the models. Science is the way we get the models. I already have, go look for it yourself Edit: apparently some places define science as the sum of knowledge obtained through the scientific method. Still, even with this meaning, the scientific method is crucial. Edited on 21-09-2016 05:27 |

A scientific study bases its conclusions on the analysis of data that was observed to test a hypothesis. For it to be accepted, it has to be published. For it to be published, it has to be reviewed by peers. This keeps out junk papers. What "point" is that? That you understand less about science than I do? That I don't even have to think for more than a few seconds before giving you a valid answer? That you're a bulverist ashshoal? |

Peer review shows that a paper meets the minimum requirements for reputability. It is by no means necessary, but it helps filter out pseudoscience. It's no more perfect than a water filter, but certainly no less useful. I was wrong about peer review making a study scientific - it is usually sufficient for showing that a study is scientific, but it is by no means necessary. |

1. So you admit that you are just an "arsehole", instead of stating what you believe to be fact? 2. Anecdotal evidence, supported by anecdotal evidence. Besides, if scientists threw out studies that they believed to be ridiculous, how many unexpectedly correct theories would we have lost? Peer review checks that studies meet certain scientific standards - including these: . Note that "are the results ridiculous" is not on that list. Basically, as long as the research was carried out well, the analysis interprets the data well (doesn't misrepresent it) and takes into account the existing body of work on the subject, and the results are suggestive enough, it'll pass (ignoring quality of writing, relevance to journal, etc.). |

I'm not justifying crap coming through, I'm saying how that is not crap from a scientific perspective. No matter how ridiculous the conclusions, if they follow from the data and the data was collected in a good way, it is not necessarily unscientific. Saying, "oh, it's fine, but it's just too ridiculous for my tastes, so I won't approve it" would be an example of consensus stopping revolutionary ideas from coming through - you are being inconsistent. You want scientists to only accept papers that they agree with, but then you want them to stop allegedly only letting papers through that support global warming? Bias is bias is bias. You can't say that one kind is good and another bad. |

From a scientific perspective the only things that are not crap are falsifiable models that accurately predict nature. All "studies" pertaining to Global Warming and/or "climate change" are crap from a scientific perspective. How many of those made it through peer review? Too funny. . I don't think i can [define it].

The only reason you're saying that they aren't falsifiable and that they don't accurate predict nature is your claim that sampling bias completely invalidates all data containing it. Better go throw out your computer - some of the science used to make it was based on data with a sampling bias! |

But all science is partially biased. And yes science IS based on data. Science is the process. That is a, perhaps the, valid definition. Edited on 23-09-2016 03:06 |
