T-Rex: Science is based upon hypotheses, conclusions and theories formed via repeated observations and experiments!
Narrator: THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS OF SCIENCE
T-Rex: This allows us to fashion an empirical and verifiable understanding of the world around us. Theories are said to be correct if they match up with the observed properties of the universe! However, science makes the tacit assumption that the universe is predictable and orderly and regular, which MAY NOT BE THE CASE.
T-Rex: I ask the question: what if some of the theories and laws of science were merely statistical?
Utahraptor: Explain!
T-Rex: Well, we say the speed of light is about 300,000 km/s, because it's been that every time we've measured it. But what if there's a small chance that sometimes, the speed of light can just - change?
Utahraptor: You're questioning the basis of science by postulating a non-deterministic universe.
T-Rex: Yeah man! In such a universe, science totally fails!
Off panel: So does life, probably! It wouldn't matter because we'd all be dead!
T-Rex: Dead WRONG!
T-Rex: About science?
