Is there anything absolute in science?

There are no absolute truths in science; there are only approximate truths. Whether a statement, theory, or framework is true or not depends on quantitative factors and how closely you examine or measure the results.

Do absolutes exist?

“Absolute” exists, not “absolutes”. Try singular, not plural, for starters.

Is physics an absolute truth?

Ergo, scientific knowledge gained through scientific inquiry like the Laws of Physics and Scientific Theories are not absolute truths. They are highest approximation of truth relative and confined to our human ability to sense, perceive and comprehend the universe.

Can the laws of physics be violated?

Nope. The laws of physics don’t define what’s possible; what’s possible defines the laws of physics. That said, it’s possible to violate the known laws of physics. This has happened repeatedly throughout history, and has led to both modification of the known laws and greater understanding of our physical universe.

Does proofproof exist?

Proof can only exist when there is no doubt, and there is always doubt. You could be a brain in a vat, living in a crazy simulation. You could be hallucinating everything. You cannot prove anything. So, what is to be done?

How can I prove that quantum physics is real?

Nobody can prove that quantum physics is real. Because that’s not what science is about. Proof can only exist when there is no doubt, and there is always doubt. You could be a brain in a vat, living in a crazy simulation. You could be hallucinating everything. You cannot prove anything. So, what is to be done?

Can a scientific theory ever be proven?

If someone tells you a scientific theory has been proven, you should ask what they mean by that. Normally, they mean “they’ve convinced themselves that this thing is true,” or they have overwhelming evidence that a specific idea is valid over a specific range. But nothing in science can ever truly be proven. It’s always subject to revision.

How can we prove the theory of gravity?

And falling objects, GPS clocks, planetary motion, and the deflection of starlight prove the theory of gravity. Except that’s a complete lie. While they provide very strong evidence for those theories, they aren’t proof. In fact, when it comes to science, proving anything is an impossibility.
