In this episode of Know About Everything, we examine the philosophy of science and epistemology, exploring how knowledge is defined, acquired, and validated. The episode discusses the scientific method, the role of falsifiability as proposed by Karl Popper, and Thomas Kuhn's concept of paradigm shifts. Historical examples like the Copernican Revolution and Einstein's relativity illustrate how scientific inquiry evolves. It also considers the influence of social and cultural contexts on science, the balance between objectivity and interpretation, and the shared pursuit of truth between science and philosophy.
