Can science, as a body of knowledge arrived at by hypothesis-> test-> same result, be wrong?
Yes. It has been shown to be. E=mc² is wrong. See magnet. Kepler was wrong too. albeit initially. Why? He was taken by his own musings on the beauty of mathematics. This subjection of himself to this body of knowledge, was such that it blinded him from the facts. He even concluded that his facts were wrong, just to conserve his ideas. Yet, later he discovered that, instead of circular, the movement of planets was elliptical. He was humble enough to question his own bias, which, by the way, was deeply rooted in his view of God. By discovering his bias and the rigorous test (decades I should say) he rewrote his hypothesis, and started testing it.
A 1000 years ago, a Persian scientist, mused about the proliferation of plants and their environments. He deduced that environmental factors caused changes in plants producing different species. Those factors were the availability of water and the timing of them, the soil type, the temperature and climate. But since his religion proscribed: everything is as Allah wills it, the solution was quite obvious. Allah did it. Was he right? People believed for ages that it was so.
Only Darwin and Wallis took it one step further and proved that these factors, these environmental factors, which none of us have in hand, caused selection, in the sense that those life forms with the most appropriate faculties to that environment have a better chance of reproduction and hence proliferation.
Think oranges. Can you grow oranges in Idaho? I guess, but you then would have to append the environment. A green-house might help. With that you provide the exact environment for oranges to grow.
This same process is done by humans where it concerns dogs, vegetables, grains, life-stock, etc.
Just the fact that science, as a body of knowledge based on experiments is wrong, does not mean it is wrong. It is our human way of knowing the universe. Observation and questioning. That is the start. To be able to penetrate mysteries, we have to device new instruments to be able measure things. Hence the iso-codes.
However, and this bears repeating. The belief the science of the last three years, has been demonstrably a false narrative and hardly indicative of what science is.
Goto min: 25:00. That is the pendulum experiment. The pendulum science predicts certain outcomes. Levin puts it to the test. And guess what? the prediction is true. And Levin dared to put his health on the line to demonstrate it.
