He made that leap of faith leaving science and rationalism behind.

Most of us were taught in school that the reason we should believe in science is because of the scientific method.

So there are many famous examples in the history of science of scientists doing exactly this.

And I have a good example of that too, again from the history of science.

The third problem is simply a factual problem, that a lot of science doesn't fit the textbook model.

A lot of science isn't deductive at all, it's actually inductive.

Besides inductive science, scientists also often participate in modeling.

So now because there all these different things that scientists do, the philosopher Paul Feyerabend famously said, "The only principle in science that doesn't inhibit progress is: anything goes."

Now this quotation has often been taken out of context, because Feyerabend was not actually saying that in science anything goes.

What he was saying was, actually the full quotation is, "If you press me to say what is the method of science, I would have to say: anything goes."

And in this sense, science is intrinsically conservative.

So despite the popularity of the concept of paradigm shifts, what we find is that actually, really major changes in scientific thinking are relatively rare in the history of science.

So finally that brings us to one more idea: If scientists judge evidence collectively, this has led historians to focus on the question of consensus, and to say that at the end of the day, what science is, what scientific knowledge is, is the consensus of the scientific experts who through this process of organized scrutiny, collective scrutiny, have judged the evidence and come to a conclusion about it, either yea or nay.

We can also think of science as being a kind of a jury, except it's a very special kind of jury.

But this leads us to one final problem: If science is what scientists say it is, then isn't that just an appeal to authority?

Well, here's the paradox of modern science, the paradox of the conclusion I think historians and philosophers and sociologists have come to, that actually science is the appeal to authority, but it's not the authority of the individual, no matter how smart that individual is, like Plato or Socrates or Einstein.

And the same is true of science, only science is even older.

Our basis for trust in science is actually the same as our basis in trust in technology, and the same as our basis for trust in anything, namely, experience.

Our trust in science, like science itself, should be based on evidence, and that means that scientists have to become better communicators.

Despite what science fiction may portray, I can responsibly tell you that AI has no love.

But he had a long-lasting interest in the science of prejudice, and so when a prestigious British scholarship on stereotypes opened up, he applied for it, and he won it, and then he began this amazing career.

It's both art and science.

We are arguably one of the most successful citizen science projects in the world, and we have created the largest open dataset of radiation measurements.

In the case of Safecast, a bunch of amateurs when we started three years ago, I would argue that we probably as a group know more than any other organization about how to collect data and publish data and do citizen science.

Still people thought, no, that was not serious computer science, and it was a man named Jerry Wiesner, who happened to be the president of MIT, who did think it was computer science.

I'm going to suggest that to integrate consciousness into science, some radical ideas may be needed.

Some people say a science of consciousness is impossible.

Science, by its nature, is objective.

So there can never be a science of consciousness.

Neuroscientists like Francis Crick and physicists like Roger Penrose said now is the time for science to attack consciousness.
