- Notes: In this passage, Fuller begins to explain why technological progress seems to make great gains in war time and states his view that this is a reflection of advances mainly made in peacetime - wars simply force nations to take notice of their advances in the pure science and then they apply those advances to the war effort. ...

- Global warming refers to a period of increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. ...
- To add to the controversy, new findings - within the last 15 years - have indicated that the earth's climate system is inherently unstable, and that global warming could, counterintuitively, precipitate such non-linear, sudden climate shifts as have been discovered to have occurred within the earth's recent past. ...

- In the 20th century the reality of Galileo's experiments was challenged by some authorities, in particular the distinguished French historian of science Alexandre Koyré. ...
- ) The demonstration that a planet had smaller planets orbiting it was problematic for the orderly, comprehensive picture of the geocentric model of the universe, in which everything circled around the Earth. ...
- Because the apparent brightness of Venus is nearly constant, Galileo reasoned that Venus could not be circling the Earth at a constant distance. By contrast, the heliocentric model of the solar system developed by Copernicus would neatly account for the steady brightness by reason of the much greater distance from the Earth at the time of "full Venus", when the two planets were on opposite sides of the sun such that Venus' illuminated hemisphere faced the Earth. ...
- This led him to the conclusion that the Moon was "rough and uneven, and just like the surface of the Earth itself", and not a perfect sphere as Aristotle had claimed. ...

They held up before the world the dreadful consequences which must result to Christian theology were the heavenly bodies proved to revolve about the Sun and not about the Earth. ...

- Many scientists, historians, philosophers and sociologists regard this perspective as naïve, and see the actual operation of science as more complicated and haphazard. ...
- Today falsifiability is often cited as a main distinction between science and pseudoscience. ...
- The question of how science operates has importance well beyond scientific circles or the academic community. In the judicial system and in public policy controversies, for example, a study's deviation from accepted scientific practice is grounds for rejecting it as "junk science" or pseudoscience. ...
- Science is a social activity, and one scientist's theory or proposal cannot become accepted unless it has become known to others (usually via publication, ideally peer reviewed publication), criticised, and finally accepted by the scientific community. ...
- The history of science is filled with stories of scientists claiming a "flash of inspiration", or a hunch, which then motivated them to look for evidence to support or refute their idea. ...

86. Article: Talk:Gaia theory/Archive 4
- en.wikipedia.org
- I have been reading web pages on Gaia theory, and the none of them have anything to do older theories about the Earth and the Cosmos, or radical politics ("Gaians), etc. ...
- Gaia theory - A group of scientific theories about how life on Earth may regulate the planet's biosphere to make it more hospitable to life. ...
- Gaia theory predecessors - A discussion of proto-scientific, mystical and religious views about life on Earth that bear similarity to Gaia theory. ...
- On the one hand, the distinction between the family of "Gaia theories" and a relatively narrow "hypothesis" meshes well with other language and distinctions I've heard in science, and it's consistent with how I interpret Lovelock's usage of "Gaia theories" in that source I mentioned. ...
- I think this vague insinuation could be provocative to a fiercely pro-science and anti-new-agey person, because it looks a little like an effort to coopt and romanticize the Gaia theories and the views of the Gaia theorists by grouping the theories with ideas that are more religeous and cosmological. ...
- I think the precedents should be kept, otherwise this article will just show a scientific point of view only, when there is much more about Gaia than just science. ...
- This suggested to me that "Gaia thoery" actually means different things to different people: Among Earth modellers like Lovelock it seems to refer only to the mechanistic theories, but within the subculture of philosophically-minded non-scientists who embraced Lovelock's idea (which I suppose includes the author of that earlier version of the article) maybe it's commonly used to refer also to theories that suppose more spiritual and/or unmeasurable interactions. ...
- A "science" version where could be hinted social and politics aspects, as well as a more global version, where the theories themselves would be grossly outlined for more understanding. ...
- Anthere has saying that we must refer to certain ancient religious and mystical views of the Earth and/or cosmos as "Gaia theory". ...
- He did *not* use science to build upon earlier mystical beliefs; he created his own hypothesis by applying ideas from Biology to findings from atmospheric science. ...
- They may even have mistakenly come to believe that Lovelock didn't originate the Gaia hypothesis, but merely added science to previous mystical belief systems. But so what? We can certainly mention this set of beliefs in the article on Gaians, but it would be grossly inapprorpiate to jam it into an article on atmospheric science and biology, i. ...
- Finally, Anthere keeps demanding that since some people mix together science, radical politics, and these new-age belief systems, we are somehow obligated to cram all of this into the science articles. ...
- I never said I wanted to mix science with politics and new age stuff. ...
- Gaia theory - A group of scientific theories about how life on Earth may regulate the planet's biosphere to make it more hospitable to life. ...
- Unfortunately, Anthere still will npot accept any disambiguation between her political and religious beliefs, and an article solely on science. ...

- I will not delete the following paragraph but I will say before it, that the validity of astrology as a science is debatable - with good arguments for both sides. ...
- Is astrology an art or a science? A. ... In some ways it is a science, in as much as it follows a clearly definable set of rules and principles, based upon mathematical and astronomical calculations. In other ways it is an arts subject, in as much as the interpretation of an astrological chart is based upon a rich and symbolic language, and the art of synthesising hundreds of variables into a coherent interpretation is a skill based more upon language and psychology than on science. I personally feel that the best compromise is to call astrology a social science, if it has to have a label at all. ...
- What is science is a very large question it is a branch of philosophy called espistemology. ... There's is any epistemologic argument to qualify Astrology as a science. ...
- You appear to have an incorrect view of how science works. Science is inherently skeptical, and deals only with provisional truth, not absolute truth. ... Are you saying that the theories of astrology are not falsifiable? You can't maintain that science is inherently sceptical without being sceptical about science. ... Similarly, there are many versions of creationism (young-earth creationism, old-earth creationism, intelligent-design creationism), which are all mutually inconsistent. ... Didn't you just say that all science is provisional? In all this discussion, I haven't objected to your splitting off the Chinese astrology portion. ...
