What is it about theories in natural and human sciences that make them so convincing? During the course of my Biology HL syllabus‚ I came across the theory of the fluid mosaic model. I instantly considered this theory to be absolute and accurate. This level of certainty was created with the first reading of the theory‚ and evoked the question as to what makes the theories formulated in natural and human sciences as convincing as they are.
