About This Quote
All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of Experience, the mother of all Knowledge. Science is a great endeavor to prove what we already know. We learn about our world through science, but it often does not let us in on the truth. There are many things that science does not know about the world. For example, the effects of radiation on living beings, how electricity works in our bodies, what happens when you die, and so on.
Science is only able to prove theories through observation and experimentation. Theories can be difficult to prove or disprove because they do not have the same level of proof as facts that come from observation. Theory Scientific theory is a well-thought out idea that has been tested by observations and experiments. It is important to note that scientific theory is not just theory.
A theory must have elements of fact in it before it becomes a theory. Facts are defined as something indisputable known about something because it has actually happened or discovered. Theories are difficult to prove or disprove because they do not have the same level of proof as facts that come from observation or experimentation.
