Clarification: The problem was not with Aristotle. The problem was with his followers. It is not Aristotle's fault that his followers decided to make his teaching into an inflexible dogma. This is what was a hinderance to science. This is what happens when the followers of any teacher turn that person's ideas into a dogma that it is not permissible to challenge. This has happened many other times throughout history with the followers of many other individuals. I was just using what happened with Aristotle's followers as an example.
Another example is Karl Marx
If his "dogmatic deciples" are the problem, then why did the appear only 3-4 centuries after Aristotle's death? What did change in those centuries? Did idea caused the loss of progress or the society lost progress due to political instability, chocking every progress including the porgress of idea? Did "dogmatic deciples" cause progress to halt or did the stagnation in society caused "dognamic deciples" to gain stronger foothold?
The tittle should be "Christian Scientists/Discoveries". Dig into History and how most of them are relying on other primary sources.
@@aniksamiurrahman6365 The colonisation period and "discovery" period go hand in hand. Colonisation was done in the name of Civilising, when Abrahmics wer barbaric themselves.
Pulz 01, you must be complaining about other videos that you have seen, because I don't believe that these criticisms apply to this video. This video includes scientists from many different geographic and religious backgrounds.
5 years ago you were the first CZcams channel I subscribed ever (on another account tho 😄). And man because of you has my love for math and physics increased a lot. Loved your content as a 16 year old and still do as 21 year old
Thanks. I am glad you like my videos and that they have increased your love for math and physics.

You are my first youtube science Channel in my life . I started watching you 4 years before and you inspired me the creativity to take up science . Thank you so much Eugene
Thanks. I am glad to hear that my videos have made a difference.
What a simple-but-terrific way to get across an essential idea of what 'science' is. You didn't try and court controversy; you didn't insult; you gave an array of characters, names, and perspectives; and even in the end you discussed possibility that there would be arguments between scientists of today and 'scientists' of the past as to what their pursuit is all about.
Thanks. I am glad you liked my video.
Love your videos! Especially the Fourier series one was eye-opening for me. I can't imagine the hard work that goes into making all these videos, and you definitely deserve all the praise.
Thanks for the compliments. I am glad you like my videos.
If you like Fourier videos be sure to watch 3Blue1Brown's video(s) on it too.czcams.com/video/spUNpyF58BY/video.html
Their Fourier Series video was absolutely mind-blowing. 😍 I wish someone had showed that to us in college. Would have made it so much more interesting and easy to understand.

Science cannot live without philosophy.
Perhaps, but philosophy can conjure all sorts of things without regard to the reality that science shows is present.
@@homewall744 Although this video illustrates the problem with that statement: If science's only objective is to make predictions, there can be no "reality that science shows is present"
@@homewall744 well somethings science can't prove
Like you can't prove this is the only reality with science
Thank you for making a nice introduction to this topic.
Thanks.
Again a remarkable video. These videos are awesome, full of knowledge delivered so brilliantly. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the compliments about my videos.
Your videos were the Kickstart that started my journey in philosophy, psychology and physics which gave me now a solid mind set that helped me do acts that make me proud of my self both academically and in my very career.

ngl, Maxwell proposed one hella cute demon🙄
She is discriminated by humans for being devil, and she is discriminated by demons for being cute.
I like the music you choose on here, these videos relax me
Very enlightening, great content.
Thank a lot Eugene Khutoryansky👍
Thanks.
It would be great if you edited this to add something about Feyerabend’s “Against Method”, which puts forward a cogent argument as to why the actual history of scientific progress is in direct contradition with common notions of scientific method or demarcation.
Unfortunately, once a video is uploaded, it can't be edited.
This video is for history. Salutation
Thanks.
This is a nice change of pace. This was great to watch.

Thanks for the compliment.
In my last year of uni (2020), I was in a class about basically looking into this stuff, and we read Kuhn’s book. Can’t say I’m big on this type of reading or even philosophy, but the “paradigm shift” is one of my favorite expressions. Kinda nice to see this kind of subject covered on your channel 🙂
Thanks.
You are awesome Eugene 👏🏻
Thanks for the compliment.

@@EugeneKhutoryansky You’re welcome; I truly did.
A nice hypothesis I recently read is the 'cooperative eye hypothesis' that states the 'whiteness' of our eyes is so that we better communicate and cooperate which each other, when compared to other great apes. But this seems as one of those hypotheses difficult to test and be falsifiable. Although there is a possible genetic evidence for self-domestication ( towards friendliness and cooperative evolution) of humans based on BAZ1B gene.
A certain degree of consciousness would give rise to values and the differentiator between right and wrong , it is not genetic at all .
I always thought that it was Achim's razor. Because Achim sounds like the name of a dude with some serious facial hair.
I love all of your videos
The philosophy videos are different and interesting please keep them coming
Thanks. I am glad you like my videos.
I love your work and would also enjoy seeing more. If you are willing to make longer for them videos with more detailed explanations I would certainly be willing to donate on patreon. Either way keep up the good work.
Thanks. I really appreciate your interest in donating on Patreon and I am glad you like my videos. I have videos of varying length. Some are very long and detailed and some are short. One issue with doing longer videos is that it takes a longer amount of time to make the animations for the longer videos. (I make all the animations myself.)
Where are u from?
I was born in the Soviet Union, but I have lived in the United States since I was 4 years old.
Respected sir, IN your vedio of special relativity You have said that an moving observer(man in spacecraft) see distance between two planets to be less! ,But in special relativity an observer at rest sees the length of the meter stick in the spacecraft has become shorter.... if meter stick itself had become shorter THE MAN IN THE SPACE CRAFT HAS TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PLANETS TO BE MORE THAN ACTUAL DISTANCE MEASURED BY MAN AT REST FRAME RIGHT??? Correct me if I am wrong, THANK YOU
When two observers are moving, each observer must think that the other person's meter stick is shorter than their own. Otherwise it would be possible for them to tell which of them is moving, which would violate the principal of relativity.
When observing a moving object, for that object, time is distorted in the direction of motion. A resting observer will see a moving observer to have a shorter meterstick, but the moving observer will measure the *back* of the meterstick before the *front.* Even though the meterstick appears shorter to the resting observer, the moving one will move *during* the measurement. The resting observer will see the moving observer measure the back of the meterstick, move forward a bit, and measure the front, and that difference in time means the moving observer actually measures *more* than a meter while having a shorter meterstick, because they moved *during* the measurement.
@@joj1758 completely wrong
@@jjhhandk3974 what's wrong in it??
@@joj1758 👍....consider an person on an train has two clocks on his HANDS which are synchonised, now the person on ground also see it synchonised(because Both clocks are at almost same point) , now he places both the clocks at the end of very long train and he stands at the centre,...now he should find the clocks are NOT SYNCHRONISED....the rear clock is ahead right.... Now he can conclude that he is in moving frame....does the Galileo dictum fails....??(laws of physics is same in all reference frame, no experiment can conclude that you are in moving frame) correct me if I am wrong
Excellent as always.
Thanks for the compliment.
You are a true saint and a wonderful person. I wish truly best for you with all my heart. Please, continue to make more videos about mathematics and science.
Thanks for the really great compliments. More videos are on their way.
We saw this with the authorities during the pandemic, claiming science by rejecting competing ideas and dramatically reducing productivity.
We see the same thing with climate "science". Hundreds of observationally falsified predictions, but its still taboo to be skeptical that small CO2 level increases cause massive temperature changes.
What? Thomas Kuhn precisely argued that science DOES NOT MAKE progress due to incommensurability. Concepts mean different things in paradigms and are not comparable. Better analogue is that science is always moving "away from the last one."
It's also important to point out that Karl Popper believed our observations to be theory-laden. They depend on theories. (We use the theory of redshift for falsification in astronomy)
I wanted to see if anyone made this point. It seems to me that this video doesn't describe Kuhn's conclusions in a way that he'd agree with.
Good to see you again, Sir !
The fact that you reply on most comments, tell us how wonderful person you are, please don't stop enlightening us.
Thanks.
Very interesting! Thank you very much :)
But as far as I understand it, by showing that euclidean geometry does not reflect the big-scale space of our universe, according to Einstein's theory (given that it is true), doesn't show why sound logic wouldn't lead to truth. This is because Euclid simply used a set of axioms and deduced more theorems from them, creating a consistent set of ideas. It's like mathematics in this sense. If this set of ideas correspond to the real world is of no importance. This is unless we assume that they must describe reality. The problem here is, what theory are we going to use to "test" euclidean geometry? As long as they are theories, they are no standard of truth.
There are, moreover, unconscious aspects of our perception of reality. The first is the fact that even when our senses react to real phenomena, sights, and sounds, they are somehow translated from the realm of reality into that of the mind. Within the mind they become psychic events, whose ultimate nature is unknowable (for the psyche cannot know its own psychical substance). Thus every experience contains an indefinite number of unknown factors, not to speak of the fact that every concrete object is always unknown in certain respects, because we cannot know the ultimate nature of matter itself.
Maybe future A.I. Will know our psyche and nature behind consciousness.
Maybe even super intelligent A.I. will never be couscous in our way of consciousness.

4:16 So whenever someone tells you "the science is settled," laugh in their face.
Nobody said that for like a hundred years
On the contrary, people say religion is settled whereas it has clearly adapted.
@@ramdamdam1402 I only thought of it because I heard someone say it recently.
@@N0Xa880iUL How is that related in any way ?
If we limit daemon with specific rules, when and why he moves - it will be falsifiable hyposysis
Yes. In fact, if we limit the demon's movements such that we have precise equations, which give all the identical predictions of our present laws of physics, then the demon hypothesis will be experimentally equivalent to our present theories, in the same way that many of the different interpretations of quantum mechanics are experimentally equivalent. Though, this begs the question of why the demon's movements are limited to those specific equations.
@@EugeneKhutoryansky what if the demon is a discrete machine and follows his discrete rules all the time - like in Convey’s game of life? What if universe is a huge discrete robot consisting of primitive discrete unbreakable beings which are discrete automates and one their actions equals reduced Planck’s constant? That would explain many observations including speed limitation and observer effect / Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
@@EugeneKhutoryansky equations in this case turn into statistics and expected value of movement results.
That would make it falsifiable but it would still have the problem of making unnecessary assumptions.
@@someone2973 who decides what is necessary and what is unnecessary? it would give hidden variables Einstein searched for. It would give predictions that differ from relativity predictions in some details and would explain the world.
As always beautifully presented.👍❤

I was actually quite interested in metaphysics recently, but the problem is we really can't make any real progress, maybe we should just focus on practical science instead , but pondering the fundamental nature of reality is oddly satisfying... We may venture to reconcile physics, consciousness and metaphysics.... In some way... Great video by the way. Today we are indeed faced by the question of what is science supposed to do, and what would be a better way. I mean we should of course think about ways to make life better and convenient but existing without knowing or at least trying to know the ultimate answers feels shameful...
I think we’ve reached a point in science where we’re hitting our cognitive limits. Humans just being like any other animal probably also have such limits like how no matter what you do you can’t teach a chimp or a dog how to do calculus. That’s why I think philosophy and science have completely separated. Philosophy depends on the natural logical part of the brain, while modern science uses mathematics that is in a way a gateway for us to understand these complex ideas without involving ourselves in a futile exercise limited by our biological cognitive/intellectual limit.
Love how the invisible demon looks like a biblically accurate angel lol.

Thanks for the compliment about my explanation.
Excellent presentation. Well done
Thanks for the compliment. I am glad you liked my video.
I would argue that many of these individuals are natural philosophers; they had freedom of thought based on observations of natural phenomenon; whereas modern day scientists work from a more structrured and rigid framework. Scientists of the modern age will actually ignore or attempt to refute observed natural phenomenon in order to uphold certain scientific "laws" that are taken to be absolute truth. This is, in my opinion, a somewhat dogmatic approach to take while investigating the universe around us.
They were all natural philosophers. "Natural Philosopher" used to be the term for "scientist."
@@EugeneKhutoryansky I appreciate the reply, and I understand that one mode of thinking leads to the next; such as alchemy being modernized as chemistry as our knowledge expanded. My point is that modern day "science" has to some degree departed from the that mode of thinking that we once called natural philosophy. The evidence lies in theories and assertions which are based on belief rather than actual observation; like for example the concept of virtual particles, or gravitons.
@@EugeneKhutoryansky Your videos are awesome by the way; I have been watching your channel for several years, and I have learned a lot!

I really appreciate this video. Over the last few years, my interest in Science and the Scientific method has increased dramatically. Learning the finer details of Special Relativity, and what it says about the fabric of Spacetime both blows my mind and disturb me in equal amounts. In a sense, the more you learn, the more bizarre the can becomes, as you kick it ever further down the road towards the boundaries of our current understanding. And lets not even talk about QM. I tend to agree with the sentiment that Reality is not just stranger than we know, but stranger than we can know.
I am glad you liked my video. Yes, reality is far stranger than the wildest science fiction stories humans have ever been able to come up with.
As an aspiring Science Fiction author, I can only agree.

I see you enjoy popper given the time you invested in framing his picture in such a monstrous blender project of a machine without any clear necessity.
Throughout my high school I grew up watching your physics and math videos, they definitely had a huge impact on my interest in mathematics and physics. I'm glad my little brother discovered this channel himself through the relativity video and found it very interesting.
As I began to wonder more about your animation recently, which software do you use for your animations? I'm guessing it's Blender, based on the fact that a lot of people in scientific community have picked it up recently...I'd like to know what you use for modeling/animation/simulation, I'm just curious.
Thanks. I am glad my videos have had a positive impact. I make my 3D animations with "Poser." I make some of the 3D models in "Wings" 3D and import them into Poser as ".obj" files.
