Well that's probably true, but those people would have to actually be willing to speak up about it.

Also, views aren't necessarily an indicator of exactly how many people have seen your meme. The same person can give a single meme multiple views, so I don't really pay attention to those anymore.

Exactly! There are reasons why my uv/v percentages are more like 20 percent. They are probably not good reasons.

You know sort of like how some entertainers, it is joked, become popular for being popular. jokes, I've tried my best as usual.

Sociology is probably more useful than ever. Only the facts studied are changing, and that's what science is supposed to be all about.

Inego montoya | SCIENCE IS ALL ABOUT
"CHANGING FACTS" I DONT THINK YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT WORD MEANS | image tagged in inego montoya | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I had to jest. Sorry. A fact is usually like a constant. What notion of fact do you mean?

Facts change all the time. Where a person is, what time of day it is, etc. Water boils at 100° at sea level, but did you know that changes depending on your altitude? The facts of the past don't change, but we're always discovering more sbout them. As well, science is aleays discovering more facts, and that's why new theories are usually better than old ones.

That's more like data. A fact as I tend to think of it is slightly more general. The boiling point of water at an altitude [given pressuer] is a fact that can be recorded. It's what makes the thermodynamic equation possible. That fact is constant and useful to science.

I think you're talking about measurements and laws. Facts are specific.

It just sound unidiomatic to read that science works because facts change. I rely in science because facts don't change. The moon's color wont change to blue. Pandas won't give birth to antelopes. People won't stop eating insanely salty junk food. When you said it that is where my mind went. Make sense from my perspective?
