Science tends to be irreverent of pre-existing beliefs.
Overturning the earth-centric universe with one that centers around the sun upset thousands of years of well-reasoned observations and many mythical contemplations later discoveries.
So that the sun itself is moving along a rural stretch of a spiral arm amidst billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy and a universe brimming frothing even, with trillions of galaxies firmly upending any concept of humanity being at or even near the center of anything.
Archaeological anthropology has also gained an especially irreverent reputation, as there is scarcely an origin story of any culture on the planet that has not been amended or completely refuted by its findings.
Scientific irreverence also applies to the field itself. When new evidence emerges to question long-accepted interpretations, including those once presented as prevailing frameworks, science updates its knowledge, overturns those well-reasoned, well-founded assumptions.
Real knowledge is never gained by being right about anything. It’s earned through methodical seeking of truth, wherever it may lead. And seeking that truth is likely what led you here to another episode of This Week in Science!

We want to welcome our guest, Matthew Facciani, PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Notre Dame, Author of “Misguided”. You can find him on Psychology Today, his podcast & newsletter, and on Threads and Bluesky.
Matthew Facciani is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Notre Dame in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. He is an interdisciplinary social scientist with a background in neuroscience and psychology and holds a PhD in sociology. His research focuses on media literacy, misinformation, social networks, political polarization, identities, and artificial intelligence. He is also a science communicator, has written for various media outlets, spoken at national conferences, and hosts Misguided: The Podcast, where he explores how social and psychological forces shape the way we process and consume information. His new book, Misguided: Where Misinformation Starts, How It Spreads, and What to Do About It, was recently published by Columbia University Press. WELCOME TO THE SHOW, MATTHEW!
