| ARTICLES RELATED TO Falsifiability | | | | |  Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Model economics - OverviewIn general terms, economic models have two functions: first as a simplification of and abstraction from observed data, and second as a means of selection of data based on a paradigm of econometric study.
Simplification is particularly important for economics given the enormous complexity of economic processes. This complexity can be attributed to the diversity of factors that determine economic activity; these factors include: individual and cooperative decision processes, resource limitations, environmental and geographical co ...

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - The supernatural in monotheistic religions - Naturalization versus supernaturalization Some people believe that supernatural events occur, while others do not. In the process of debate, both sides attempt to discredit the other. People that believe in supernatural events accuse those who do not of naturalizing genuinely supernatural events; people that do not believe in supernatural events accuse who do of supernaturalizing genuinely natural events.

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Model economics - Tests of macroeconomic predictions In the late 1980s a research institute compared the twelve top macroeconomic models available at the time. They asked the designers of these models what would happen to the economy under a variety of quantitatively specified shocks, and compared the diversity in the answers (allowing the models to control for all the variability in the real world; this was a test of model vs. model, not a test against the actual outcome). Although the designers were allowed to simplify the world and start from a stable, known baseline (e.g NAIRU unemployment ...

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Irreducible complexity - Irreducible complexity IC An early concept of irreducibly complex systems comes from Ludwig von Bertalanffy, a 20th Century Austrian biologist.[3] He believed that complex systems must be examined as complete, irreducible systems in order to understand how they worked. He extended his biological work into a general theory of systems in a book titled General Systems Theory. After James Watson and Francis Crick published the structure of DNA in the early 1950s, GST lost ...

The supernatural in monotheistic religions - Supernaturalization and naturalization in the Hebrew Bible.
In the Hebrew Bible plagues and other misfortunes are described as signs of God's anger or vengeance, while prosperity and victory are described as signs of God's approval and love. Believers assert that these descriptions are accurate in describing the existence of a personal God who interacts with the universe in supe ...

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Modern geocentrism - The modern scientific point of view The consensus of scientists today is that
there is no center or otherwise special position in the universe,
from the standpoint of the laws of physics, there is no special linear velocity (however, the velocity of the cosmic microwave background radiation is sometimes considered special from the standpoint of a scientist)
there is a unique rotational velocity in which Newton’s laws of motion hold.
As with every scientific theory, this consensus does not mean that all alternatives have been disproved, but simply that all the available evidence supp ...

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Modern geocentrism - Biblical references Modern geocentrists point to some passages in the Bible, which, when taken literally, indicate that the daily apparent motions of the Sun and the Moon are due to their actual motions around the Earth rather than due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis. One is Ecclesiastes 1:5:
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Another is in Joshua 10, 10–14, where the Sun and Moon are said to stop in the sky:
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, in the ...

| | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Philosophy of science - The justification of scientific statements The most powerful statements in science are those with the widest applicability. Newton's Third Law — "for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction" — is a powerful statement because it applies to every action, anywhere, and at any time.
But it is not possible for scientists to have tested every incidence of an action, and found a reaction. How is it, then, that they can assert that the Third Law is in some sense true? They have, of course, tested many, many actions, and in each one have been able to find the corresponding reaction. But can ...

Modern geocentrists often quote these works which seem to admonish that scriptural references about geocentrism not be interpreted as allegorical or phenomenological since such an interpretation could lead to the appearance that ...

Philosophy of science - Scientific infallibility.
A critical question in science is, to what degree the current body of scientific knowledge can be taken as an indicator of what is actually 'true' about the physical world in which we live. The acceptance of knowledge as if it were absolutely 'true' and unquestionable (in the sense of theology or ideology) is called scientism.
However, it is common for members of the public to have the opposite view of science — many lay people believe that scientists ...

| | | | | | Falsifiability: Encyclopedia II - Philosophy of science - Sociology and anthropology of science In his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Kuhn argues that the process of observation and evaluation take place within a paradigm. 'A paradigm is what the members of a community of scientists share, and, conversely, a scientific community consists of men who share a paradigm' (postscript, part 1). On this account, science can be done only as a part of a community, and is inherently a communal activity.
For Kuhn the fundamental difference between science and other disciplines is in the way in which the communities func ...
