      Because it’s painting one of the marvels of modern discovery as a random happenstance.

      Civil engineers did not accidentally figure out how to plan city sewage systems.

      Omg. Did a physicist tell yeti to insulate its cups or do we just know about insulation because basic physics has permeated most people’s consciousness?

      Generally just knowing how insulation works from unconscious personal experience (like the SNL sketch, "Fucking blankets, how do they work?!") is usually brought up as the ultimate example of what ISN'T science

      If a child knowing that it's warmer under the blankets than without the blankets is "science" then literally everything humans do is science "And when everything is science... nothing will be" - Syndrome

      Holy shit you’re a smug asshole. Nobody said kids in blankets is science but belittling the arguments of others is the only way you know to sound right. I know you’re going to block me, but it’s worth it.

      You literally said an inventor knowing to make an insulated vessel to keep beverages warm or cold was a result of "physics permeating people's consciousness"

      "Invention" and "science" really are two very separate things, and a lot of invention has been based on clever application of already established "common knowledge" rather than what we would call "doing science"

      The practical knowledge of how insulation works greatly predates Lord Kelvin or thermodynamics, and in fact turning that intuitive knowledge into a formalized science (creating a scientific definition of "temperature" etc) was this whole big thing

          (I've yet to find a formal phrase that captures well what I mean by "was a whole big thing" "Was a nontrivial exercise", perhaps)

          Yeah - which is, to some extent, what this whole discussion is about? There's a relevant difference, maybe, between doing basic research and developing theories, then trying to apply them to invent products or change society - which is usually how we think of 'science'

          But there's also the kind of back-and-forth process of making something that works without really understanding why, then trying to understand and explain it.
