Critical thinking

value of Bayesian probability (no true and false, just % chance to be true)
scientists shouldn't say they believe in things, things just have a probability or being true or not

scientific method is the various ways that people use to only say things that are correct.

science shows the difference between reality and how we experience reality

examples:
real things, we can't directly sense: E-M spectrum, subatomic particles, gravity fields, electric fields, electricity
sensory illusions: why does metal feel cold, optical illusions,
delusions: some people believe things that are in their mind exist outside their mind (ghosts)

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." - Philip K. Dick

science as a progression away from human biases

examples of bias:

self centered: the universe is centered around me > Earth > Sun > there is no center
relativity: velocity only exists relative to something
