家园 什么是科学?

The following paragraphs are taken from one article of Jos Elstgeest. The reason that I cited this paper here is that I think it is one of the best definitions of science.

Jos, Consultant at the Regional Pedagogic Centre, Zeeland, Netherland.Was involved in developing materials for the African Primary Science Programme, later on a Unesco Programme for Science Education at the University of Lesotho. Author or Numerous articles on science education.

...And we might begin by considering what we mean when we use the word "science". Unfortunately, many people in the past (still many at now) have mistaken the results of science for science itself.

Science is not a list of discoveries. Science is a way of thinking.

Science is not a scheme for naming animals and plants. Science is the practice of looking at the world around us with an inquiring mind.

Science is not a mass of formulae. Science is the method by which the creative mind can construct order out of chaos and unity out of variety. Any formula is the result of such creativity.

Science is not a body of sterile knowledge. Science is the fertile skill of acquiring new knowledge to be added to the body and to keep it alive.

Science is not a string of dogmatic answers. Science is a logic approach to solving problems. Science is not the ultimate truth. Science is the careful search for truth. And this search sits between the question and the answer.

Science is the same process through which babies and toddlers go when they feel, look, touch and taste and generally explore anything that comes within their reach. Thus they begin to adjust them selves to the world in which they were born. It is of little use to lecture to a toddler on the hotness of the kitchen stove; each one of us has learned this by painful scientific discovery.

简单说起来,科学不是知识的集合,科学更多的是发现新知识的过程,是对现有知识进行验证,补充,完善,去伪存真的过程。正因为此,科学才会不断进步。

以太的概念已经被科学抛弃,平行宇宙的概念需要科学家们去验证,而五行学说能否被纳入科学体系,不在于别人允许不允许,而在于相信这些学说的人你得去对其进行验证,改进。

所以我说利用现有科学手段验医验药方为正途。
