I think that no aspects of science are ‘true’ and that every theory would benefit from further investigation to either improve upon it or for someone to come up with a better theory. That’s why there are still scientists…

Science can not been judged by “true” or not I think. In my view, science is the way that human beings can understand the world better and take use of what we understand. Sometimes the world has too many aspects and there are too many ways to study it. So different fields and statements can only be some parts of the science. So there is no standard. But that is only my personal point.

Both great answers to a great question.
Scientists are trained to question everything that they are told, so we’re always sceptical that something is “true”. -

Lol, yes, it’s drives my family made because I never stop questioning even non-science things.
There are two massive theories of Physics (one was created by Einstein) which don’t really make sense if both are “true” but everyone sort of glosses over it and uses them both. So it will be exciting when someone works out which one is actually more accurate, or if it’s something else entirely, because the whole of Physics will need to be rewritten…
