Del has a propensity for confusing lack of clarity with depth.

@Pioneer1 sure I won't dispute the notion that much what what Black people find worthy of attention or even praise worthy must be validated by white folks first. I get it. Theories like string theory, for example, are theories and there are Black physics that don't buy into it. You are unaware of these folks because you don't usually see them on TV or social media. I have not heard this where did you learn this? Have you considered that Russia is simply trying to undermine the US. There are people who do not believe we landed on the Moon and Russia apparently are taking advantage of this. I seriously doubt Russia would actually do what you say they are doing. I suspect you got this from the same place Del got the info on MLK's homosexual affairs.

Its a long 9 days

😁 OK, back to solving problems as you see them. The world is waiting. .

People craft God in their image, but every educated person knows Christianity came from Africa. The bible white Christians use was crafted to suit their needs.

Are you just looking to be contrary to me? You drew a conclusion about facts from the article and when i pointed out that the article did not even mention facts you now raise another unrelated issue. The theory of evolution did not involve math. It was based upon methodical observation. If you went to Brooklyn Tech you would know these things 😉 Yes, @Chevdove there are theories that will never be "proven" to be fact, and will always remain theories.

Well then, explain it to me please!

IMO we should speak what we believe in. But also I try to realize that no matter what, someone might be offended because that is a normal part of the diversity of us all. And then, if someone disagrees, then debate on the merit of the topic and if there is no intent to harm someone, then the situation or offense will eventually ware off.

Well the article does not use the word "fact," so be careful. The article addresses the terms "theory" and "proof." You and I both know that some theories like the existence of a multiverse or what existed "before" the big bang are theories that can never be proven, because it would require measuring something outside our own universe. Also, science is not math. In math you can have "proof" and while theoretical physics is largely based upon math (as the article stated) science relies on tests and observations. Theoreticians work closely with experientialists to test theories, which in turn help to understand the nature of the universe -- at lest as far as our limited intelligence will allow.

Quoting directly from the conclusions drawn in the article: "This doesn't mean it's impossible to know anything at all. To the contrary, in many ways, scientific knowledge is the most "real" knowledge that we can possibly gain about the world. But in science, nothing is ever proven beyond a shadow of a doubt." "...Every scientific theory will someday fail, and when it does, that will herald a new era of scientific inquiry and discovery. And of all the scientific theories we've ever come up with, the best ones succeed for the longest amounts of time and over the greatest ranges possible. In some sense, it's better than a proof: it's the most correct description of the physical world humanity has ever imagined." The article yields nothing revelatory. The problem we have today is that publishers craft headlines which are designed to attract attention and are often misleading. They implication here is that scientific proof, a "myth," has no valve. What did you take away from the article @Delano? Oops I forgot you are remaining neutral 😉
