can we trust science 100 % or what?

Answer Question

Answer 1

In Science We Trust

Physics and mathematics are sciences that can be trusted 100%. 1 + 1 = 2 no matter how you count it. Meteorology is a science that is not exact. But the term 'trusted' probably refers to the scientist that sometimes - not often - get it wrong. But not due to conspiracy, human error or deception. Weather and atmospheric changes can occur without warning and on a dime. There are predictions, that turn out to be imprecise, but with the tools on hand, I imagine most scientist are energized by accuracy of predictions.

Your answer is two-fold. Yes, science is accurate. No, scientist are human.

Answer 3

Science is Observing and recording.

It's limitations are what we can Observe and Record with . . . So Technology is sort of the gatekeeper for additional information.

What Science does is observe and records as best it can, then it gets to a point where it can recreate, consistently, a theory. It then makes a Theory from the findings, and publishes documentation about this theory . . . It submits it to other Scientists that are specialists in the particular field for this theory so they , in turn, can test and recreate the same finding . . . These other Peers are trying to actually Disprove this theory . . . If they cannot disprove, then this theory now moves to Scientific Theory . . . All this means is that it is the best explanation of this theory based on Facts and Evidencewe currently have. So it may not be 100% accurate, but it is as close to accurate as we have based on the limit in Technology, and any additional discoveries . . .

It is important to note that a Scientific Theory is merely a place holder, and may not represent 100% knowledge about this thing . . . It is all based on the evidence and facts that are currently testable and can be changed if need be.
