Misunderstanding:
“A scientist should never be looking for ways to confirm his belief but instead should always be looking for ways to disprove his belief. When you cannot find any then you know it’s confirmed true fact.”
That was an irrational comment on an Internet discussion group, and it’s wrong. The first part is right. The second part is wrong. A scientific fact is something observed repeatedly without any exceptions like gravity pulling objects to the ground at 33 feet per second per second. For scientific facts, we could find an exception tomorrow. A true fact goes beyond a scientific fact. A true fact is reality itself.
When we cannot find a way to disprove our belief, that just means we haven’t yet found a way to disprove our belief. We could find that way tomorrow. Alternatively, someone else may have already found a way to disprove it, but that way never got published. It certainly can’t be a scientific fact since it’s not an observation. It’s a belief. It’s a hypothesis. It’s a hunch.
If scientists make other predictions, they may test those predictions. They continue to test predictions. No predictions fail. They classify the hypothesis as a scientific theory. That doesn’t prove the theory is accurate. The theory still goes beyond what scientists have observed. It just proves the theory may be useful for further tests. Those tests might even lead scientists and engineers to develop useful products. However, if we can develop useful products because of those tests, that doesn’t prove the theory is true. The theory is still theoretical. We just found something that works.
