• Resumen

  • The article discusses how science is used to evaluate claims such as why the Moon is not made of green cheese. The theoretical physicist Sean M. Carroll reports that the ability of humans to use other knowledge about the universe influences the plausibility of a hypothesis. The author concludes that we know the Moon cannot be made of cheese due to knowledge about how our solar system works, not because astronauts acquired samples.
