“Science has been effective at furthering our understanding of nature because the scientific ethos is based on three key principles: (1) follow the evidence wherever it leads; (2) if one has a theory, one needs to be willing to try to prove it wrong as much as one tries to prove that it is right; (3) the ultimate arbiter of truth is experiment, not the comfort one derives from one's a priori beliefs, nor the beauty or elegance one ascribes to one's theoretical models.” IfsNeedsTryingHas BeensThreeBeliefUnderstandingCommonPrinciplesWillingTheoryKeysComfortTruth IsProveModelsEvidenceUltimateExperimentsCommon SenseEleganceTheoreticalProve ItEthosArbiterWilling To Try Book:A Universe From Nothing Source: A Universe From Nothing
