question 7
albert einstein is credited with saying that “no amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” but these days it is not uncommon to hear politicians, reporters, and even scientists say things like, “the science is settled...” on a particular topic, implying that it is now fact, not up for debate. do you think einstein would agree? use einsteins quote to challenge the idea that the “science is settled” for any given phenomenon, and should be universally accepted without further experimentation.
(as a good scientist, you should always question what you hear and read! always keep questioning and experimenting!)
(a) yes albert einstein would agree that once is is tested then you know the answer
(b) no albert einstein would not agree that once is is tested then you know the answer you would need more experimentation.
Einstein's quote emphasizes that no amount of experimentation can prove a theory right, while a single experiment can disprove it. This implies that science is always open - ended and not "settled" as there is always room for new experiments to challenge existing knowledge.
