To science, in strict terms, the fate of the universe as never be certain, to start.
The "this changes everything" titles are just baits, hopefully to an actually good article. But science permanently changes. A good theory is never judged by "not being false" but by how long it holds true.
True, and eventually with more accurate measurements every theory has its limits and a new one is needed.
And different theories can coexist in their own limitations. I like to think of Newtonian mechanics and SR/GR. Newton’s theory is still good at low speeds and weak gravity, although Einstein's theories describe it more accurately and within broader limits.

Good to see a few Stackers here with a proper understanding of how the scientific method works... welcome to the ~science territory~~ It's depressing at times to see how much distrust there is in science these days, especially in the Bitcoin community.

Then I thankfully don't know the community much, what kind of distrust in science bitcoiners have expressed?
Exactly 💯
