Just more proof that scientists usually don't know what they're talking about


So much this. A lot of bullshit with their theories.

I think you need to look at the definition of theory again.  Theory =/ 100% fact.

A theory is when scientists had a hypothesis that was proven correct, and as of yet has not been disproven through experiments.  In this case an experiment proved the hypothesis false, and now a new hypothesis to explain this was stated in the article, and until its proven through a new experiment, it will stay just a hypothesis.

Hence why one of the most important princples of science is adaptablity to new information/observations and technology.  As both can be used to either further prove a theory or debunk it.


I agree, but a lot of scientists are too confident their theories are facts.
