Review the questions:

At the beginning of the class we read some of the questions we had written the day before. After read them we corrected the wrong ones.

 

Main features:

The main features of Science are:

·         Results have to be reproducible and objective: it means that it won’t depend of the person who counts; the results always have to be the same.

·         Use mathematics as a tool.

·         Doesn’t exist an authority principle: s, if you check it and it’s wrong, doesn’t care who says this; it will always be wrong.

·         Reality is the trial/ proof/ test.

·         Simplicity (Ockam Razor)

·         Ethic: share all the knowledge nut you have to recognized the owner.

 

 

Here I show you a cartoon of  Newton and Leibniz having an argument because they think that both are the owners of one idea.
