Science The Law And Environmental Remediation

Modern science has evolved into the most powerful tool<br>ever developed by humans to understand the world in which<br>they live. That power has arisen by a unique combination of<br>success in making predictions, the ability to have its<br>conclusions falsified, and a public, peer reviewed system of<br>quality control. It is the public nature of science that<br>allows, indeed requires, the discovery of error to be used in<br>the search for truth. In the legal arena, the search for<br>truth takes on a different meaning.
