What are the "axioms of science"? List them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not the person you're replying to, nor an expert but wouldn't they be things like:

  1. There is a reality which behaves according to certain principles within time.

  2. Humans experience reality through flawed faculties, but experiences can be aggregated in ways which reduce or eliminate the impact of those flaws.

  3. The more thoroughly those flaws are eliminated from the aggregate, the more reliably predictions can be made about the principles that govern reality.

Those are really just conclusions we have reached not parts we started with.

I just said that evidence can be collected and interpreted to make reliable predictions. Isn't that what science is?
