Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Science is not about predictions, falsification, or experimentation. Science is about
presenting a theory in a logical manner. The definition of science also makes no provision for mathematical
equations. An equation is just a description, and a description alone is not science. A scientific theory
consists of an explanation. The juror should be able to visualize what the prosecutor has on his mind. This
means that the prosecutor should be able to make a movie of his dissertation. The juror can visualize a
theory only if the prosecutor puts shapes on the screen. A scientific theory absolutely requires a physical
object. Here I justify these arguments and show that without a physical object, the presenter cannot possibly
be giving a rational dissertation, let alone be doing Science.

| Aaah, Bill! This is what science is all about. I put this little drop in here like this and, if my prediction is correct, nitroglycerin will free you of asthma forever. |
