What is Settled Science?

“Settled science” is actually what this universe followed to come into existence and continue to run ( as principles and rules). (1)

How can you disprove it? You can’t! Even if you challenge it, you can’t win!

The other aspect of science, i.e., the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained, is not settled.

It is limited by human mind inadequacies. That is why we can’t ‘prove’ things in science but can just show ‘evidence’ which is a provisional one.

What you say "settled science" refers to a scientific theory or concept that has been so extensively researched and supported by evidence from the scientific community that it is widely accepted as a reliable truth, essentially signifying a strong consensus among experts on a particular topic, even though new information could always potentially challenge it; it's considered the “best understanding” we have based on current knowledge.

When the ‘systematic study of the world’ matches exactly with the ‘settled science of the universe’, facts based on evidence get established.

That is not nonsense. They are facts based on evidence. When these facts get established, they can be utilized in our day today life to our benefit. The very fact that they work excellently is enough evidence that they are correct.

A heart attack is caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood and oxygen to the heart:

The blockage is usually caused by a build up of plaque in the coronary arteries, the major blood vessels that supply the heart muscle.

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is reduced or blocked, which can damage or destroy heart muscle. The most common cause of a heart attack is coronary artery disease (CAD), which is a build up of plaque in the arteries. Plaque is made up of cholesterol, fat, and other substances. When a plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form and block blood flow to the heart.

This is science. “Established science”? Yes!

If the blockage is ‘removed’ using scientific knowledge, your health improves. You make the heart work again to some to normal extent using ‘established science”. When science is followed, you find solutions to most problems.

Settled science works like magic!

There can still be some difficulties. That is due to human mind limitations or some other limitations because of which we cannot have 100% control on human bodies and other situations that govern them.

Not because of “settled science” of the universe. It is because our scientific studies and consensus we reached using them didn’t match exactly with settled science of this universe. You can challenge it as it is not perfect.

Science is still in its infant stage. As it grows it can improve more and more to match with the universal settled science. You have to wait till then with patience.
