十个常被误解的科学术语科学从未证明过（Ten often misunderstood scientific terms science has never been proven） 1. proof (Proof) Physicist Sean Carol (Sean Carroll): I think the most widely misunderstood of all scientific concepts is the word proof. The scientific definition of itself is that the logical argument used in drawing a conclusion follows a certain assumption that it is much more tall than yes in spoken language. Because scientists have a more precise understanding of some words in their minds, their meanings do not match what the public understands. According to the definition of proof, science does not actually prove anything! Like being asked, for example, how do we prove that we evolved from other species? Or, can you prove that human activities have led to climate change? When we (Scientists) tend to prevarication, rather than simply answer I can! One of the key points of successful science is science, never really proof of what, but to create a more reliable and comprehensive theory to describe the known world at the same time, the theory also requires us to constantly update and improve. PS: the answer to the test paper is easy to prove, the four word is simply Jian (XI) Wen (Le). 2. theory (Theory) Astrophysicist Dave Goodburg (Dave Goldberg): When the general public (and a handful of people with ulterior motives) hears the word theory, they usually equate it with idea or supposition. In fact, the theory should be a complete system that contains verifiable ideas and can be falsified by existing evidence or scientific experiments. The best theories (such as special relativity, quantum mechanics, and evolution) have withstood the test of hundreds of years. Challengers trying to falsify these theories include people who want to prove themselves smarter than Einstein, and those who dislike abstract theories and subvert their own worldview. Of course, they all failed without exception. The theory should be improved (malleable), but not infinite: a theory may be proved in s
