It is a representation / model of territory.

This is not a pipe. It is an image of a pipe.

Models are coloured by the biases of their creators.
Despite their inaccuracy, models can be useful depending on their purpose.

The map we are used to seeing is euro-centric.
- Greenwich time
- West and the rest
- Europe is in centre
Other kinds of maps appear distorted to us because they are so unfamiliar to the eye.

Why are maps inaccurate?
- they are based on statistics
- statistics are based on samples
- sampling has a lot of scope for inaccuracy
--> sample number chosen
--> method of sampling chosen (random/cluster/stratified)

While representing knowledge there is often a tradeoff between simplicity and accuracy.

Things to think about for the next class
- If statistics are inaccurate, what is the next best option of data collection?
- What are some specific examples of the tradeoff between accuracy and simplicity?
- What has appeared distorted to you because of its mere unfamiliarity? How did you react to it? Were you open-minded or did you deem it inaccurate?

Primary research in human science requires communication between the researcher and the group of people under study.
I learned that there is always a gap between thought and expression, so the communication between the researcher and subjects can never be truly objective.

For example, in a survey the language and questions affect the respondents answers as we saw in the activity we did.

In an observation, the Hawthorne effect comes into play.

Without objective communication, the results are also subjective.

Science is the practice of determining a relationship between two variables in a controlled manner.
Therefore, with the subjectivity of human science research methods, the true relationship between variables is difficult to discern because variables can never be fully controlled.

So how much truth do human-science-related statistics really hold? And can we even call human sciences, sciences?

Edwin Hubble’s discovery of the relationship between red shift obliterated it by completely demonstrating that the universe is constantly expanding.

2. Phrenology : Now widely considered as a pseudoscience, phrenology was the study of the shape of skull as indicative of the strengths of different faculties. Modern scientific research wiped it out by proving that personality traits could not be traced to specific portions of the brain.

I was talking to Philip Sir once in a research session about how I sometimes wished we could start learning everything experientially from scratch in school and I wondered how education would be different if we did that. So instead of learning THAT gravity exists and the value of acceleration due to gravity, we would drop a ball, measure time and arrive at the value of acceleration ourselves. And similarly, we would do EVERYTHING from Bio to Economics in the same way, drawing conclusions ourselves. I wondered whether maybe we would find new things when fresh, 'uneducated' brains, that have not yet been mindlessly filled with theories and formulae, iterating the same simple experiments that have been done in history might demonstrate new findings that change the laws and theories we accept as valid today and make our understanding of the world more accurate.

Summary
- 2 types of reasoning in science: deductive (general to specific) and inductive (specific to general)
- Communal nature of science: we build off of existing knowledge "If I can see further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"
- Smaller research groups are better at hypothesising and ideation (first few steps in the scientific method that require thinking) while larger groups are more efficient at testing because there are more hands at work
- Iteration turns a hypothesis into an established theory and theories are tested until they become laws
- All theories have limitations and to apply one, you need several others to make up for the limitations in the first (e.g. physics mechanics)
- Tools used to measure in natural science diminish accuracy of findings because they change the nature of the subject under observation (e.g. thermometer)
- Art and science aren't all that separate. (e.g. space installation)
--> the left and right hemisphere of the brain theory is a myth, not scientifically proven
--> art is useful in science to understand things better (e.g. diagrams and space illustrations) and science is useful in art to produce better quality, more layered and intricate artwork (e.g. math in music, rhyme schemes in poetry, chemistry in visual art)
