If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
In this episode, I host Dr Peter Vickers, an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Durham. We analyze the role of scientific theories today, after defining the terms science and theory. We discuss the role of consistency in science and how quantum theory has changed the way we do science. Lastly, we share some thoughts on the relation between science and philosophy and talk about whether any of the two disciplines prevails over the other.
