Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can't really judge scientific claims for ourselves in most cases.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if even scientists themselves have to make a leap of faith Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outside their own fields, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then why do they accept the claims of other scientists? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why do they believe each other's claims? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And should we believe those claims? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what I'd like to argue is yes, we should. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But not for the reason that most of us think. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of us were taught in school that the reason we should Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,believe in science is because of the scientific method. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We were taught that scientists follow a method Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that this method guarantees the truth of their claims. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The method that most of us were taught in school, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can call it the text book method, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the hypo-deductive method. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,According to the standard model, the textbook model, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scientists develop hypotheses, they deduce the Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,consequences for those hypotheses, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then they go out into the world and they say: Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are those consequences true? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Can we observe them taking place in the natural world? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if they are true, then the scientists say: Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Great, we know the hypothesis is correct. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there are many famous examples in the history Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of science of scientists doing exactly this. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the most famous examples Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comes from the work of Albert Einstein. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Einstein developed the theory of general relativity Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the consequences of his theory Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was that space time wasn't just an empty void Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that it actually had a fabric. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that that fabric was bent Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the presence of massive objects like the sun. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if this theory were true then it meant that light Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as it passed the sun Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,should actually be bent around it. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was a pretty startling prediction Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it took a few years before scientists Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were able to test it. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But they did test it in 1919 Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and low and behold it turned out to be true. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Starlight actually does bend as it travels around the sun. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was a huge confirmation of the theory. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was considered proof of the truth of this radical new idea Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was written up in many newspapers around the globe. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now sometimes this theory or this model Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is referred to as the deductive-nomological model. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Meaning those academics like to make things complicated. \N[Laughter] Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also because in the ideal case it's about laws. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So nomological means having to do with laws. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the ideal case, the hypothesis isn't just an idea, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ideally it is a law of nature. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why does it matter that it is a law of nature? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because if it is a law, it can't be broken. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If it's a law then it will always be true Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in all times and all places Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no matter what the circumstances are. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all of you know at least one example of a famous law. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Einstein's famous equation, E=MC2, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which tells us what the relationship is Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between energy and mass. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that relationship is true no matter what. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It turns out though that there are \Nseveral problems with this model. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The main problem is that it's wrong. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's just not true. [Laughter] Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'm going to talk about three reasons why it's wrong. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first reason is a logical reason, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's the problem of the fallacy of affirming the consequent. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's another fancy academic way of saying Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that false theories can make true predictions. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So just because the prediction comes true Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doesn't actually logically prove that the theory is correct. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I have a good example of that too, \Nagain from the history of science. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a picture of the Ptolemaic universe Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the Earth at the center of the universe Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and The Sun and the planets going around it. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Ptolemaic model was believed Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by many very smart people for many centuries. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well why? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well the answer is because it made \Nlots of predictions that came true. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Ptolemaic system enabled astronomers Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make accurate predictions of the motions of the planet. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact more accurate predictions at first Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than the Copernican theory which we now would say is true. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's one problem with the textbook model, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a second problem is a practical problem Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's the problem of auxiliary hypotheses. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Auxiliary hypotheses are assumptions Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that scientists are making, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they may or may not even be aware that they're making. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So an important example of this comes from Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comes from the Copernican model Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which ultimately replaced the Ptolemaic system. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when Nicolaus Copernicus said, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually the Earth is not the center of the universe, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the sun is the center of the solar system, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Earth moves around the sun. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Scientists said, well okay, Nicolaus, if that's true Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we ought to be able to detect the motion Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Earth around the sun. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so this slide here illustrates a concept Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,known as stellar parallax. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And astronomers said, if the Earth is moving Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we look at a prominent star, let's say, Sirius. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well I know I'm in Manhattan so you guys can't see the stars, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but imagine you're out in the country, \Nimagine you chose that rural life. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we look at a star in December, we see that star Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against the backdrop of distant stars. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we now make the same observation six months later Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when the Earth has moved to this position in June, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we look at that same star and we see it against a different backdrop. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That difference, that angular difference, is the stellar parallax. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is the prediction that the Copernican model makes, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,astronomers looked for the stellar parallax Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they found nothing, nothing at all. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And many people argued that this proved \Nthat the Copernican model was false. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what happened? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well in hindsight we can say that astronomers were making Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two auxiliary hypotheses, both of which Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would now say were incorrect. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first was an assumption about the size of the Earth's orbit. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Astronomers were assuming that the Earth's orbit was large Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,relative to the stars. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today we would draw the picture more like this, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this comes from NASA, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you see the Earth's orbit is actually quite small. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, it's actually much smaller even than shown here. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The stellar parallax therefore, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is very small and actually very hard to detect. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that leads to the second reason Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why the prediction didn't work, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because scientists were also assuming Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the telescopes they had were sensitive enough Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to detect the parallax. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that turned out not to be true. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It wasn't until the 19th century that scientists were able to detect Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the stellar parallax. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, there's a third problem as well. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The third problem is simply a factual problem Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a lot of science doesn't fit the textbook model. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of science isn't deductive at all, it's actually inductive. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And by that we mean that scientists don't necessarily Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,start with theories and hypotheses, often they just Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,start with observations of stuff going on in the world. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the most famous example of that is one of the most Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,famous scientists who ever lived, Charles Darwin. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When Darwin went out as a young \Nman on the voyage of the Beagle, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he didn't have a hypothesis, he didn't have a theory. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He just knew that he wanted to have a career as a scientist Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he started to collect data. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mainly he knew that he hated medicine Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the sight of blood made him sick so Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he had to have an alternative career path. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he started collecting data. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he collected many things including his famous finches. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When he collected these finches he through them in a bag Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he had no idea what they meant. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many years later back in London, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Darwin looked at his data again and began to develop Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an explanation Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that explanation was the theory of natural selection. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Besides inductive science, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scientists also often participate in modeling.
