ABOUT AASTRO ↘
Science starts with a question. We think it gets better when you ask it together.
AASTRO stands for Astro-Aero-Student-Teaching and Researching Organisation. We’re a young, student-led organisation from Jammu & Kashmir exploring astronomy, astrophysics, astronautics, general sciences, teaching, research, innovation and outreach.

Karl Popper argued that a theory is scientific only if it can be proven wrong. "All swans are white" is a good scientific claim because one black swan would end it. A claim that no result could ever contradict, such as one that bends to fit every outcome, tells us nothing about the world. This is why scientists look for tests that could break their ideas, not just examples that agree with them.
Thomas Kuhn noticed that science does not grow in a smooth line. Most of the time, scientists work inside a shared framework, called a paradigm, and solve small puzzles within it. Over time, results that do not fit begin to pile up. Eventually the old framework breaks, and a new one takes its place, as when Einstein's physics replaced Newton's picture of space and time.
We usually trust that the future will look like the past: the sun has risen every day, so it will rise tomorrow. This kind of reasoning is called induction, and science depends on it. David Hume pointed out that we cannot prove induction works without using induction itself, which is circular. We cannot fully solve this, but we keep using induction because it has worked so well.
