Why scientific knowledge changes over time the half life of facts

English
1 answer:
arsen [322]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Knowledge, like milk, has an expiry date. That’s the key message behind Samuel Arbesman’s excellent new book The Half-life of Facts: Why Everything We Know Has an Expiration Date.

We’re bombarded with studies that seemingly prove this or that. Caffeine is good for you one day and bad for you the next. What we think we know and understand about the world is constantly changing. Nothing is immune. While big ideas are overturned infrequently, little ideas churn regularly.

As scientific knowledge grows, we end up rethinking old knowledge. Abresman calls this “a churning of knowledge.” But understanding that facts change (and how they change) helps us cope in a world of constant uncertainty. We can never be too sure of what we know.

This is also known as the "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech that Churchill gave during the Battle of France (which of course, the French would lose to the Nazis, who marched into Paris on June 14, 1940). Churchill was attempting to rally support from the British politicians and the people, since England too was at war with Germany.  Great Britain was, in fact, on its own, since the United States would not enter the war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor a year later.
