		<description><![CDATA[Logical Positivism was one of the most important schools of philosophy of science in the beginning 20th century. The "Vienna Circle", a group of scientists, mathematicians and philosophers, contributed greatly in promoting this philosophical view. A positivist is a person who only accepts sense perception or experience as the only source of knowledge of the world.  Why is empirical evidence considered to be so much more valuable than other ways of knowing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is not always necessary to conduct real-life experiments to reach a valid scientific conclusion. Thought experiments may in some cases also suffice. In this edition I will illustrate you a thought experiment from physics. In a vacuum, all objects accelerate the same way and they both have the same  velocity. Heavy objects will not fall faster. But how can we test this? We do not have a large vacuum chamber to test this. A thought experiment can be useful in this case.]]></description>
