The Star of Bethlehem. In Giotto’s fresco The Adoration of the Magi, the painter represents the star as a comet. Giotto was able to observe Halley’s Comet in 1301. This comet, with a period of 76 years, was alo observed in the year 12 BCE; therefore, it could not have been the star of Bethlehem🧪⚛️🔭.

Yes, you are right. In the Preface of the book we talk🧪 about science and truth: "Our “true” is just the ideas (theories, hypotheses, models and scenarios) that agree most closely with the results of observations and experiments" at a given moment. 🧪⚛️🔭

Scientific objectivity is a myth – cultural values and beliefs always influence science and the people who do it

Cultural ideas are inextricably entwined with the people who do science, the questions they ask, the assumptions they hold and the conclusions they land on.
