The Theory of Scientific Change (view source)
Revision as of 00:36, 3 August 2016
, 00:36, 3 August 2016→Theorems
Taking the four laws of scientific change as the starting point, the following theorems about the process of scientific change have so far been deduced.
====Rejection of Elements====
We can deduce three theorems that have to do with the rejection of theories or methodsfrom the scientific mosaic.
=====Dogmatism theorem=====
No theory acceptance may take place in a genuinely dogmatic community. Suppose a community has an accepted theory that asserts that it is the final and absolute truth. By the Third Law we deduce the method: accept no new theories ever. By the Second Law we deduce that no new theory can ever be accepted by the employed method of the time. By the First Law, we deduce that the accepted theory will remain the accepted theory forever.
