Science is supposed to advance through doubt, testing, and falsification — but does it still work that way in practice? In this episode, we examine why many modern scientific claims can no longer be independently tested outside institutional frameworks.

We explore the role of falsification in the philosophy of science, the replication crisis, closed datasets, proprietary models, and how “scientific consensus” often replaces genuine testability. When data and methods are inaccessible, science becomes something to accept rather than examine.

This episode is not anti-science. It’s a defense of the original scientific method. Because when claims cannot be challenged, science risks becoming belief enforced by authority.

At its core, this episode asks a simple but uncomfortable question: what happens to truth when verification is no longer possible?
