DESCRIPTION:Science\, as practiced since the Renaissance\, can lead to true
  outcomes\, as measured by the astounding growth in technology and prosper
 ity since that time. How can this be\, and why did it start at that time? 
 For many centuries\, this question has been explored by philosophers and h
 istorians. This talk will cover some of this history\, and address puzzles
  such as:\n\n- No one person knows the truth\, yet truth nevertheless emer
 ges from scientific inquiry.\n\n- Philosophers cannot even cleanly define 
 the concept of “truth”\, yet truth nevertheless emerges from scientifi
 c inquiry.\n\n- In every field and sub-field of scientific knowledge and t
 echnology\, complexity is ever growing\, far beyond what any one person ca
 n comprehend\, yet truth nevertheless emerges from scientific inquiry.\n\n
 As one who uses empirical methods to pursue scientific inquiry\, the speak
 er has found understanding some of this history to be helpful\, especially
  when pondering the worth or meaning of conducting specific experiments.\n
 \n1PDH will be awarded to the attendees\n\n1 Colloquium Credit will be awa
