Talk:Observational science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Cosmology disparaged!
I removed the following paragraph from the article:
Cosmology is probably the most extreme example of an observational science, to the point where some scientists and philosophers have serious doubts about whether it can be regarded as a science at all. (Consider, for example, that there is appearently no possibility of ever observing any other universe other than our own.)
Aside from being editorializing, the paragraph isn't correct. While cosmology is "extreme" in the sense of its subject material, I don't know of any self-respecting academic who would claim that it represents a dubious science. Having only one universe is a limitation, but it isn't an insurmountable issue. --ScienceApologist 22:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
