[ RadSafe ] The hot and cold of history & journalistic credibility

[Harold Careway]

I hope the "implications" from the way this was stated are not true.
Deriving coefficients in a model to incorporate past data is easy to do but
never (1) accurate or (2) precise.  The coefficients must have a sound
theoretical basis in science or be derived from hypotheses which can be
challenged and verified.  If this is true then the model could be more
justifiable.

 

Secondarily, multiple models can be built that will do the same validation
by past measurements but must be verified by hypothesis and future
prediction.  That is one reason string theory is so under fire, no future
predictions.
