The Problem With Science

Science is often criticized for its evolving nature, competing theories, and shifting paradigms. In The Problem with Science, we explore four major criticisms—elusive truth, underdetermined theory, paradigm shifts, and social construction—through the lens of biomechanics and sport science. While these challenges raise valid questions, the strongest defense of science lies in its predictive power and ability to refine knowledge through empirical testing. This article makes the case that, despite its imperfections, science remains our most reliable tool for uncovering truth.
