Question

Action at a distance, such as is the case for gravity, was once thought to be illogical and therefore untrue. What is the ultimate determinant of the truth in science, and why was this action at a distance ultimately accepted?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ultimate determinant of truth in science is the execution of scientific experiments that prove or discredit a certain scientific statement. It was through scientific experiments that gravity was accepted scientifically.

Explanation:

Gravity was first observed by Isaac Newton, who quickly created theories and calculations to prove it and show that it exists, in addition to showing the influences it has on life and on the planet.

However its existence was discredited by several people, including men of science. Therefore, it was necessary to search for facts, calculations and evidence of its existence, so that it could be accepted and studied more and more deeply. The result of this, was the elaboration of diverse experiences that submitted the gravity to the most different tests until its existence was impossible to be denied.
