Science, Truth, and Democracy

Science is a systematic way of understanding the world through observation, experimentation, and evidence. Truth in science is the best available explanation based on current evidence, open to revision with new data. Democracy is a system where people have a say in decision-making, ensuring voices are heard and authority is shared. Together, they support a society where knowledge is tested and shared openly, and everyone participates in shaping policies and beliefs. Science informs us about how the world works, truth guides our understanding, and democracy ensures that this knowledge and decision-making reflect the collective will.
