Chapter 1 Kosmos

Science is all about hypothesizing and testing to confirm if the hypothesis is right or wrong. Anyone can make a hypothesis about something, but being able to test it is another story. First of all, it is not even considered real science if it can not be tested. For scientist to agree that something is true or real, they must see evidence.

Another incident that may arise for proving a hypothesis is peer review and whether these peers are credible or not. Peer review holds so much power in the science world. If something is peer reviewed, it is automatically thought to be true or upholding. People can easily be manipulated with money, power, prestige, etc. Peer review just means more than one person agrees on a given issue. It does not necessarily mean that the issue is 100% true. This applies to any and all hypotheses made.
