从燃烧问题研究史看科学证据的时效性

Historical Avail of Scientific Evidences as Viewed from the Problem of Burn

在燃烧问题研究史上,各个时期的科学家围绕燃素说或氧化理论提出了各自的证据。从时效性来看,这些证据的效用可分为永久性、实时性和虚拟性三种。永久性观点认为证据的效用不会随着假说成立与否而发生改变;实时性观点认为证据的效用会随着原有假说被推翻而失效;虚拟性观点认为只有那些支持正确假说的证据才具有真正的效用,而最终被推翻的那些假说原有的证据只不过起到了虚拟支持的作用。

In the history of study of burn,scientists put forward their own evidences to confirm the theory of phlogiston or the theory of oxygenation.These evidences include observational facts,experimental results and academic comprehension,and they have three kinds of historical avail,viz.indissolubility,alterability and surposititiousness.
