Comment on What are the strengths of the scientific method? What are its weaknesses?

That’s the debate now isn’t it.

It's only a debate if you've never seen a paper about quantum mechanics. That's how it works. If you really think that the scientific method "doesn't apply" to quantum mechanics, you're deeply misunderstanding either the scientific method or quantum mechanics.

I will admit that I have a layman’s understand of quantum mechanics so that’s entirely possible.
