Episode notes
In science we have our own biases and confirmation bius. But a bad idea in science won't last very long, because other people have to test your theory. If youort eveng to come up with experimental results, they will repeat those experiments. And if you are wrong, you're wrong, and science will move on. People may not want their pet theory that they've studied all their lives to be wrong - but the scientific process corrects for that. It's hard to step back and ask our question, whether what we believe is actually true. We should try to do that always.
