MK fridaykaimin THE OTHER VICTIM Volume CXV Issue 23 UM’s Independent Campus Newspaper Since 1898 @KaiminNews October 5, 2012 Montana Kaimin 2 OPINION Friday, October 5, 2012 SCIENCE COLUMN EDITORIAL CARTOON THE HUME’N EXPERIENCE Thinking like a scientist By Alice Martin A Higgs boson walks into a church wearing a priest’s robe and starts trying to run the service. Angrily, one of the actual priests tells it to get out. What does the Higgs boson say in return? “But without me, you can’t have mass.” If you laughed, you’re either a science geek or genuinely enjoy terrible puns (both in my case). But the truth of the matter is, the in- teractions between culture and scientific knowledge — in this case, physics — are much more complex than the punch line of a joke or the text on a goofy meme. Culturally, scientific facts tend to be treat- ed like popcorn — small, individual pieces to chew on one at time, preferably with ungodly amounts of butter and salt. (This analogy quickly got out of hand.) That’s the distinction between knowing scientific “facts” and studying science: One provides you with some neat icebreakers at an ice cream social, and the other has the potential to deeply influ- ence your perspective and philosophy regarding the world. This isn’t to say that studying science will automatically put you down one path or another, but merely that science challenges us to think more critically about where our opinions come from and why we have them. What it ultimately comes down to is our ability to be comfortable Illustration by Callan Berry with doubt, which, as a whole, is something we’re not very good at. People want to quantify what category they belong in: what they like, what they wear, who they’re with. It gives us a sense of security in our identity. But to think scientifically is to open yourself up to the U possibility of being wrong. To choose a hypothesis because it seems likely is valid. To cling to it after the evidence proves you wrong P is not. This applies to all aspects of life, not just physical observed BACK phenomena.
