I enjoyed Dr.Otter’s talk as not only did it teach me about how science changes through the ages, but helped me understand the Kuhn readings on a much better level. I thought a really interesting point from the lecture was how facts can be destroyed if society believes so. After hearing that statement, my first reaction was that the statement was not what it seemed as when something is named a fact, it has evidence that follows a logic to prove it. But after thinking about this statement, I realized its truth as that is what has happened repeatedly in history. Something could be an indisputable fact supported by mountains of evidence, but it is not deemed widely as credible unless everyone in society adheres to such a fact. One example of this would be evolution. Despite the amounts of data collected on the subject, some sub communities in the religious world disregard such findings. Resultantly, it is not considered a fact in these communities despite having actual proof to support it. Additionally, the power of the statement that facts can be destroyed by society is immense as it shows that discoveries based in fact can be forgotten. If this happens, science takes a larger amount of time to progress and perhaps some discoveries could be lost forever.
