Science is a process of trial and error from "summary" of To Explain the World by Steven Weinberg
Science is not a straightforward path to truth. It is a winding road filled with twists and turns, dead ends and breakthroughs. It is a process of trial and error, where scientists must constantly test their theories against the harsh realities of nature. When a scientist proposes a new idea, it is not enough to simply accept it as fact. The idea must be subjected to rigorous testing, through experiments and observations. This process can be long and arduous, with many failed attempts along the way. But each failure brings with it valuable information, guiding scientists towards a better understanding of the natural world. Even when a theory has been validated through experimentation, it is never considered infallible. Scientists must always remain open to the possibility that...
