Question #1 Q93 05/29/15 (Fri) 22:47:36 No.122

What part of science do you wish to see proven wrong, /science/?

As in a paradigm shift?

I suppose physics would be interesting to see turned upside down, if only because it's so unlikely.

I suppose a paradigm shift would be interesting to see in the field of physics. The Standard Model or Dark Energy/Matter could change our perception of reality if it turned out we were wrong about those subjects.

Personally, I think the heat death of the Universe is depressing. I welcome a more uplifting scenario.

I would like to see more rigour in economics.

Assuming that means you want to see economics proven wrong, it would entail proving mathematics wrong.

I doubt you can actually do that.

Economics today seems prone to manipulation and short-sighted investments with little focus on sustainability and human well being. Definitely needs an overhaul if nothing else.

Nah, you just have to show that the current models have no real connection to reality. Just because it's mathematically sound doesn't mean it's actually describing reality.

>just have to show that the current models have no connection to reality

Easier said than done. Usually when something is proven in mathematics, it's proven once and forever (unless you made a mistake).

OP doesn't understand science whatsoever. You don't prove the scientific theory wrong, but you could prove a particular theory wrong.

>The Standard Model or Dark Energy/Matter could change our perception of reality if it turned out we were wrong about those subjects.

Nobody's been "right" about dark matter. There has never been any evidence found for it. I would love to see it "proven" wrong. The only reason scientists want it to be right is because it will help them deny a need for a god (although their argument in this respect is a fallacy in itself.)
