We've known for nearly a hundred years that vitamin C prevents scurvy.

00:03

So why can’t I seem to get a straight, once-and-for-all answer on whether

00:07

chocolate lowers my risk of cancer?

00:09

Or what about coffee?

00:10

Or soy?

00:11

Or even kale?

00:14

These are fair questions.

00:15

Maybe you’ve asked one of them before, yourself.

00:17

Why does science seem to be so sure about some things but not others?

00:22

Hi! I'm Hank Green, and this is Crash Course Scientific Thinking.

00:26

I don’t care if it’s good for me.

00:33

Today, we are going to talk about scientific consensus,

00:36

the point when an idea with a strong base of evidence

00:39

gains broad acceptance by scientific experts.

00:42

It’s how science moves forward!

00:45

Consensus is way more than an opinion, or a vibe,

00:49

and also a very different thing from just letting your Gen-Z colleague

00:53

rename the group chat "meatball zone" because it wasn't worth the fight,

00:56

which is a real thing that happened to me.

00:58

Scientific consensus happens only when a claim has been run through the gauntlet of skepticism.

01:04

Scientists have conducted many, many studies.

01:06

They have sifted through the evidence, argued with each other,

01:09

tested an idea again and again with different techniques and approaches,

01:13

scrutinized studies that others have done,

01:15

and reached a point where the evidence backs one explanation as far more likely than any other.

01:21

Consensus happens only after an idea has been poked and prodded and tested from many angles.

01:28

And getting there isn’t easy.

01:30

Building a consensus takes  a lot of time and effort.

01:33

Think about atoms.

01:34

Not those Adams. These atoms.

01:36

But of course, I’ve never seen an atom before.

01:39

Even the highest resolution picture any human has ever taken of them

01:42

just kinda looks like blurry, out-of-focus blobs.

01:45

But scientists agree that atoms exist and make up everything because

01:49

they’ve worked for centuries, collecting evidence and performing experiments,

01:53

to form a consensus around those tiny little building blocks.

01:57
