Editing The Philosophy of Scientific Progress (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Scientific progress is understood through '''Falsification''' and '''Revolution'''.

'''1. The Logic of Discovery (Karl Popper)''':
Popper argued that you can never "Prove" a theory is true.
* You can see 1,000 white swans, but it only takes one black swan to prove "All swans are white" is false.
* Therefore, science is the process of '''Falsifying''' bad ideas.
* Good theories are just the ones that haven't been proven wrong yet.

'''2. The Structure of Revolutions (Thomas Kuhn)''':
Kuhn argued that science doesn't move in a straight line.
* '''Normal Science''': Scientists work within a "Paradigm" (a set of rules and beliefs).
* '''Crisis''': They find "Anomalies" (facts that don't fit).
* '''Revolution''': Someone (like Einstein or Darwin) proposes a new paradigm.
* '''Paradigm Shift''': The whole community switches to the new way of thinking.

'''3. Scientism''': The controversial belief that science is the *only* way to find truth about anything, including morality and art.

'''The Demarcation Problem''': The question of "Where is the line between Science and Pseudoscience?" (Popper's answer was Falsifiability).
