Science: The Search for Truth
Our mission at GreenScienceOnline is ambitious. We want the truth.
There are many valid reasons to “go green.” These include political, economic, philosophical, social, religious, aesthetic and altruistic. All good reasons, all worthy of discussion and action.
However, here at GreenScienceOnline, we have chosen to focus on green science and technology. According to Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary (Merriam-Webster, Inc. 07 Jan. 2008. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/science>) “science” is the
knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through the scientific method and concerned with the physical world and its phenomena (emhasis mine).
Simply, the TRUTH. And we mean, the truth about the physical world as “obtained and tested by the scientific method.”
Not the “truth” of consensus, because in science, the majority doesn’t rule. The truth rules. And as we know from history (just ask Galileo), it may take the majority decades, or centuries, to learn the truth about a phenomena of the physical world.
We welcome your comments.
