Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon,
performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilizations
and species, and predicts the future of our climate. What
underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard
answers-the scientific method, rigour, and objectivity-are
insufficient for the job. Here we propose a new model of science
which places its products front and centre. In The Tangle of
Science we show how any reliable piece of science is underpinned by
a vast, diverse, and thick network of other scientific products. In
doing so we bring back into focus areas of science that have been
long neglected, emphasizing how every product, from the screws that
hold the space shuttle together, to ways of measuring the consumer
price index, to Einstein's theory of general relativity, work
together to support results we can trust.
