experiment: put a vampire in a tanning bed

follow up experiment: reflect the UV light from a tanning bed, off of a mirror, onto a vampire

results: inconclusive. further testing needed

hypothesis: vampires are magically vulnerable to light originating from the sun

observation: moonlight has no effect on vampires, despite being a reflection of the sun

conclusion: this aversion is not a result of light or its origin, but some property of sunlight only present in direct contact

hypothesis: vampires are extremely sensitive to uv radiation

So, if you DO look up, you’re scientifically verifying. But if you don’t look up on purpose, you’re sceptical.

Science Is Not A Faith o.O;

I love science.

But the whole thing about science is that it's a method of investigation, not a person or a thing...and the results that one gets from science aren't "unseen".

It's not something you "have to have faith" in.

It's all there, out on paper, in the data, the studies.... there's EVIDENCE there.

Evidence that other scientists are then challenged to disprove, not support.

And the more the findings stand despite other scientists' attempts to tear it down, the more the data becomes predictive and helpful in figuring out other problems, advancing other experiments, and describing other tangible situations; and the more it can be accepted as truth (or at least as a part of the truth).

And of course, nuance can (and should!) be applied to that data.

And sometimes, that changes how the data is interpreted... changes what it means; inspires scientists to go back and do additional studies and experiments to clarify and better interpret the results...but that just improves the data, so long as it really is evidence that is truly in step with our reality.

So...I don't have to have faith in anything.

I believe in Life... because I have good reason to.

And being able to ground myself in humanity and in what is humane (instead of seeing myself and everyone else as automatically evil, "sinful" creatures who do bad just because we just love evil so much, rather than due to the pressures and lack of options provided by the systems around us), I feel has made me a better person.

Now that I'm an atheist, I feel more in touch with a good set of morals that is based on well-being, consent, autonomy, and thriving -- instead of just going with 'Whatever god says, because his Might Makes Right!'.

I wish so badly that I had become an atheist much earlier in life. It would have changed so much for me.

a “hypothesis”, or a “science headcanon”,

you call urself a cursed scientist and has poor math skills... do you operate in another manner?

Yeah. Scientific method. I'm more of a field tester despite having some theories.

I just thought they could be of some use beyond identifying people who can see curses... Kiyo-kun was on the fence about it, but first tries looked promising.
