They're involved with greedy men who steal and plunder - what's worst, by deceit, lagi!!!Salakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203395095664133611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125417617128856747.post-72626751014126972882009-07-25T15:47:14.941+08:002009-07-25T15:47:14.941+08:00HahhaaHHa, so pharmacetical industries need pumpin...HahhaaHHa, so pharmacetical industries need pumping up too.

At any one time there are theories that everyone believes. This is called the normal science phase and scientists work day to day with the current theories. However scientists who don't agree, don't get published so easily, and find it hard to get any money to do research. All the effort goes into the current way of thinking (or paradigm). Slowly over a period of time the current theories make wrong predictions, errors turn up, they are ignored, till eventually there are too many. A crisis ensues, and a paradigm shift occurs. Everyone starts to believe the new theory, and the normal science phase begins again ... till the next big jump.<br /><br />In most things these bases help clear things up:<br /><br /><b>Accuracy</b> - empirically adequate with experimentation and observation <br /><b>Consistency</b> - internally consistent, but also externally consistent with other theories <br /><b>Breadth/ Depth</b> - a theory's consequences should extend beyond that which it was initially designed to explain <br /><b>Simplicity</b> - the simplest explanation, principally similar to Occam's Razor <br /><b>Utility/usefulness</b> - a theory should disclose new phenomena or new relationships among phenomena<br /><br />...<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Samuel_Kuhn" rel="nofollow"><i>wikipedia</i></a>Salakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203395095664133611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125417617128856747.post-19727868979615986642009-07-25T14:55:53.768+08:002009-07-25T14:55:53.768+08:00Vigils ... vigilance, the only surety for liberty ...Vigils ... vigilance, the only surety for liberty ( Jefferson ).Salakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203395095664133611noreply@blogger.com
