SYSK Selects: How the Scientific Method Works

# Summary

Josh and Chuck dive deep into what science actually is and how the scientific method became the backbone of modern discovery in this engaging episode. They trace science from ancient misconceptions through the Renaissance, exploring how figures like Francis Bacon and Louis Pasteur revolutionized the way we ask questions about the world, and they break down the crucial difference between everyday hunches and rigorously tested scientific theories. You'll learn why "it's just a theory" is actually a massive compliment to an idea, and discover how simple observations—from Edwin Hubble's galaxies to Pasteur's flask experiments—can upend everything we thought we knew about how the universe works.
