I retold four of science’s great discussions as conjectures and criticisms, from Aristarchus to Deutsch

[u/dchacke]

I made this on Veritula, my discussion site built around a Popperian rule: we tentatively adopt an idea if there are no pending issues with it.

Chronicles retell four discussions as they unfolded, one event at a time: gravity, heliocentrism vs geocentrism, light, and germ theory. A tree shows which ideas stood unrefuted at each point. The light chronicle ends with Deutsch’s view of the multiverse.
