Our Distorted History of Science

Why our understanding of the history of science is distorted.

Great new short vid. Thanks Eugene and Kira.

Great point of view. I'd also say that learning why wrong hypotheses went wrong can expand our understanding and further support correct hypotheses because we will have a reference point.

It would be very interesting to hear more about unsuccessful hypothesis that led to big discoveries

[Omniverseeee]

This is a great new perspectice I never thought of. Thanks Eugene. We also need to appreciate those who were wrong so we know what else to look for, and how to be more correct.

Great video from a great channel. It is important to continuously question new and established ideas, especially when new information pertaining to them is revealed. If truth is truly the goal, then questioning authority should be of no problem given the evidence stands irrefutably.

Thomas Kuhn's work on the history of science is very valuable.

Its important to state that the hypothesis that failed must still be a scientific one to be helpful. Not just some wacky claim based on no observation or no other scientific theory.

This teacher looks like she just came out of a crime scene.

This is why I'm not embarrassed to be wrong on the internet.

Pressure difference and time reference can determine any thing physically

They didn't look to become famous. They followed their passion.

You also learn and get inspiration from the ideas of the past

This is the art in philosophy not taught as well in the world today as it was then

Love it that a picture is placed with their names...truely indebted to this giants of the past!

PLEASE do a mini dive into the life of each of these individuals. Ik it’s not your typical style but I feel like it’d go a long way in helping other ppl who watch ur vids feel inspired by the legacy of the greats 🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is why I strongly disagree with the politization of science and even sentences as _we must trust the Science™_ and similar.

Once in a video "how not to teach physics", you mentioned "avoiding to sacrifice the queen is not a rule but a strategy", I know it's history.

Somebody help the lady with an orthopedic

This is the reason why science no longer happens in universities. You're supposed to act like you know what's going to happen in your experiment before seeking grant money for it. And we're all suffering for it.
