poput klimatskih promena
čiji odgovori
da su vakcine bezbedne.
don't believe the science.
dosledno pokazuju
warming due to human activities,
izazvane čovekovim delovanjem,
evolution by natural selection,
putem prirodne selekcije,
science as a matter of belief.
kao o predmetu verovanja.
apart and distinct from science.
i drugačija od nauke.
zasnovana na veri
reasoning to the question of
naučno mišljenje u pitanje
a ja ne verujem u njega,
da je bolje da verujemo u boga.

posezanje za verom.
claims for ourselves in most cases.
naučna saznanja.
true for most scientists as well
geolog ne može da vam kaže
za teoriju evolucije.
claims of other scientists?
na koji većina nas misli.
that the reason we should
prate određeni metod
model, the textbook model,
place in the natural world?
u istoriji nauke
theory of general relativity,
opštu teoriju relativnosti,
nije samo praznina
poput Sunca.
znači da svetlost
as it travels around the sun.
dok putuje oko Sunca.
to make things complicated.
vole da zakomplikuju stvari.
radi o zakonima.
povezano sa zakonima.
hipoteza nije puka ideja:
ne može biti prekršena.
one example of a famous law:
poznatog zakona:
are several problems with this model.
sa ovim modelom.
three reasons why it's wrong.
zbog kojih je pogrešan.
of affirming the consequent.
tvrđenja posledice.
mogu proisteći tačne pretpostavke.
prove that the theory is correct.
da je teorija tačna.
again from the history of science.
ponovo iz istorije nauke.
koji se okreću oko nje.
lots of predictions that came true.
mnoge tačne pretpostavke.
of the motions of the planet,
kretanja planete,
which we now would say is true.
koju bismo sad prihvatili kao tačnu.
udžbeničkog modela.
be aware that they're making.
ptolomejski sistem.
recimo, Sirijus -
tako da vi zvezde i ne vidite,
so you guys can't see the stars,
imagine you chose that rural life —
da ste izabrali ruralni život -
u decembru
see it against a different backdrop.
ali sa drugačijom pozadinom.
difference, is the stellar parallax.
zove se zvezdana paralaksa.
that the Copernican model was false.
netačnosti Kopernikovog modela.
that astronomers were making
about the size of the Earth's orbit.
o veličini Zemljine orbite.
that the Earth's orbit was large
da je Zemljina orbita velika
prilično mala.
smaller even than shown here.

of that is one of the most

Why you should listen
Noami Oreskes is a professor of the History of Science and an affiliated professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University. She received her PhD at Stanford in 1990 in the Graduate Special Program in Geological Research and History of Science.
In her 2004 paper published in Science, "Beyond the Ivory Tower: The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change,” Oreskes analyzed nearly 1,000 scientific journals to directly assess the magnitude of scientific consensus around anthropogenic climate change. The paper was famously cited by Al Gore in his film An Inconvenient Truth and led Oreskes to testify in front of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Oreskes is the co-author of the 2010 book Merchants of Doubt, which looks at how the tobacco industry attempted to cast doubt on the link between smoking and lung cancer, and the 2014 book The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future, which looks back at the present from the year 2093. Both are written with Erik M. Conway.
