1. A lot of (if not all) Science is based on drawing conclusions from patterns
2. To be certain that a pattern is always reliable (that there are no anomalies) you have to test something infinitely
3. We do not test things infinitely (in fact we cannot)
4. Therefore, any science based on drawing a conclusion from a pattern is not reliable — Georgios Bakalis
Let’s say you wanted to prove that you cannot compress a solid. I suppose you might go around with different solids and compress them (at the same force) and record if you can compress them. The first 200 times, (I doubt) any solids are going to compress, but maybe on the 201st — Georgios Bakalis
My question is for someone to spot the mistake in the above. — Georgios Bakalis
Therefore, any science based on drawing a conclusion from a pattern is not reliable — Georgios Bakalis
