Epistemology of Science

Epistemology of Science is the study of how we know what we know in science, or basically, it questions how scientific knowledge is obtained and validated. It explores matters like the reliability of scientific theories, the structure of evidence, and the role of belief and doubt. For example, it asks why we trust gravity or believe in black holes. In short, it examines the methods and validity of the scientific knowledge we've come to accept.
