THE LIES OF LIE-DETECTOR TESTING | JCS INSPIRED
In today’s strange science video, we’re going to look at the lies of the ‘science’ of polygraphy, a.k.a. lie-detector testing. And how from a scientific standpoint it’s absolute bullshit, yet in practice strangely works in some situations. This is part of a series of videos where we examine different hypothesis & theories to determine if they are science or pseudoscience.

Does Science Need Philosophy?
In this episode of Strange Science, we provide a introduction to the philosophy of science in order to ask a simple question: does science still need philosophy? We’ll examine scientific claims about observation, justification, heuristics, and scientific independence from social & political factors. While some really brilliant scientists, like Stephen Hawking & Neil deGrasse Tyson, think philosophy is useless to science, this video will show just a tiny portion of the philosophical presuppositions scientists rely on everyday while they’re sciencing.
