General discussions about "science" itself
Be sure to also check out these other Fediverse science communities:
You can prove a lot of things with math. Doesn't mean they're real.
“And math’s just physics unconstrained by precepts of reality ”
Fair point. And another poster voiced his frustration with the headline. And I guess I am not smart enough to realize that this was a poor article.
I'm not being smarmy, I honestly didn't realize it was a bad science article.
As a rule of thumb, you can usually assume anything from iflscience is trash tier.
Understood. I'll note that moving forward. Thanks!
When you predict a new phenomenon from a current model, either you've opened the door to the discovery of this new phenomenon or you've demonstrated a shortcoming in the model. Both are useful to science.
Parastatistics, if you have the required background and are looking for info.
The new thing is just that the ones described are guaranteed non-equivalent to normal fermions or bosons.
Math proves magnetic monopoles can exist. But no evidence and its very possible that it does not exist physically
Oh no. We've used math to represent and model the things we've observed. Don't go claiming you've observed things just because your math works.
Actually run your darn experiments
