Depending on where we look, the universe is expanding at different rates. Now, scientists using the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have confirmed that the observation is not down to a measurement error.

    Or rather, we replace the bad science with the best explanations we can offer, right now.

    I’ll take the plumb pudding model over “deity did it, stop asking questions” any day, because you can still do something useful with it.

    Doesn’t even matter if our understanding is wrong and will be updated later.

    Science is the best philosophy 💪

      We don’t know the best way to treat cancer, but we know leeches don’t work.
