Investigating the origin of the world and pre-historic events is fascinating. This science is Retrodictive, it uses present information to infer a past event. The volume of research in these fields indicates it is the most vexing question facing us.
Do you want the narratives to be accurate and reliable?
Do you know how a scientist can show that their narrative that retrodicts pre-historic or origins events is reliable?
Applied predictive science has seen considerable advances in recent times, in relation to both its reliability and the extremely successful utility of its investigations. On the other hand, science that includes narratives about pre‑historic and origins events, although the subject of intensive research, contains a disproportionate quantity of debate and uncertainty. The differences in these scientific fields is what we wish to discuss.
Should there be a distinction between predictive and retrodictive science, and if so, how does it affect standard methodology? The answer is a simple yes, because retrodictions are not predictions about the future nor do they include predictive experiments to discover new regularities of nature. Rather, they are limited to only applying the established regularities of nature to retrodict unique pre-historic events, so it is a type of applied science.
Sadly most scientists do not show how their narratives (that retrodict pre-historic or origins events) are theoretically align with the established regularities of nature. This causes reduced reliability.
Strangely, poor reliability has occured because retrodictions have little bearing on the safety or quality of human life since the retrodictions are never used in Engineering, Medicine et... Thus, there is little incentive to produce reliable results other than the search for truth. This is distinctly opposite to predictive experimental science and predictive applied science in Engineering, Medicine etc… The potential to cause harm to humans in predictive science is a fundamental factor in how predictive science is conducted!
Interestingly, this means that narratives that retrodict unique pre-historic events can be completely wrong (and will not cause harm to people).
Here at Pre-Historic.com we wish to address these distinctions so that researchers can demonstrate that their narratives theoretical alignment with the established regularities of nature and thus improve the accuracy and reliability of their narrative.
