Our world is dominated by fact-based inquiry.\u00a0 At the heart of scientific discovery is the gathering of evidence from experiments; and it is the ability to repeat those experiments with the same results that helps formulate facts, which in turn allows for future experiments to happen. What science offers is an objective view of the world, unclouded by emotion or perspective or interpretation.\u00a0 But what happens when scientists dispute the “facts”?\u00a0 Is there room for interpretation, and if so, does that lead us down a slope of “my point of view” versus “your point of view”?<\/p>\n
