# Science is an Invitation to Structured Discussion > Science is an invitation to a structured discussion where the discussion is tempered by evidence, by data, by reasoning and logic. It is a dialectical process where if I believe A and you believe B, we talk about it, design an experiment that distinguishes between the two, and we go from there. Science is not truth. It is not truth automatically. If it is science it does not mean it’s true. --- Date: 20220109 Links to: Tags: References: * [Jay Bhattacharya: The Case Against Lockdowns | Lex Fridman Podcast #254](https://youtu.be/oIOGUYOPAsA)
