 SCIENCE HOBBYIST: Misconceptions Page
Misconceptions about science are most likely due to the lack of philosophy of science content in teacher education programs, the failure of such programs to provide and require authentic science experiences for preservice teachers and the generally shallow treatment of the nature of science in the precollege textbooks to which teachers might turn for guidance.
A former U.S. president showed his misunderstanding of science by saying that he was not troubled by the idea of evolution because it was "just a theory." The president's misstatement is the essence of this myth; that an idea is not worthy of consideration until "lawness" has been bestowed upon it.
We accept that no single guaranteed method of science can account for the success of science, but realize that induction, the collection and interpretation of individual facts providing the raw materials for laws and theories, is at the foundation of most scientific endeavors.

 Science Timeline   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).
In 1742, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert introduced the principle which permitted the reduction of a problem in dynamics to one in statics: Kinetic equilibrium is obtained by inventing a fictional force equal in magnitude to the body in question and opposite in acceleration.

 Conservation Ecology: Big problems, small science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
These problems, however, are exacerbated by a system of reward in science that encourages "safe" research and discourages the kind of collaboration that will be necessary to address big questions.
Admittedly, this is more a subjective than methodological criterion, but as long as we continue to accept or reject papers strictly on their methodological merits, we encourage "safe" science.
That is, we encourage "small" research designed to be powerful, unconfounded, and precise, at the expense of "big" research that may be none of those.
