Ok, now, class will begin for 1 hour, and we will begin with the first note of What is science and what it does. Because surprisingly, people confuse what science is all what it is or "Knowledge", and the misconceptions of a scientist.
You know facts, the ones we can see, like that car is blue, or that grass is green, that is a fact. But Knowledge can change, because of that, people misconception that theories are nothing, and fact are the most important. So when they see sometimes a "theory of evolution" or "theory of the multiverse" it's just a theory. But the thing is, a theory is the most important, why?
Because it is what is binding different facts, and observations to say a conclusion of something like.... that car is blue, with a broken windshield, and witnesses saw a blue car hitting a person, so I can conclude from my theory that car was in an accident with that person. As we know it is a "theory", but it comprises these insignificant facts... and weaves them into a theory that makes something suitable. But as we know theories can be... wrong, and... people will say "Theories are just made up" But the thing is a theory can always be replaced, and take into a new one, like pretend a theory is a woven cloth, this fact over here is wrong, and needs to be replaced, take that one off, and saw in a new one, and you have a better theory than before....
And for that... science is the basic fundamental fact of theories and not just facts, and we need to know this because "Knowledge is always interchangeable"
Next lesson, is the Scientific Method, with the... Peer reviewed Consensus of theories being made into laws
