Human beings will never set foot on the moon?

Question

This was a question that came up in my 9th grade adv. physical science class. Does somebody know the answer?

Which of the statements below is a scientific claim?

1. Human beings will never set foot on the moon.
2. Some of the laws that govern nature cannot be detected by scientists.
3. It is quite possible that in some other galaxy the laws of physics are fundamentally different than the laws we are acquainted with in this galaxy.

Answer 1

So human beings have already set foot on the moon, just so you know.

Only three is a scientific claim.

A claim is only scientific if it is able to be tested.

Since two states that it's something we will "never" be able to measure or test, it can't be scientific.

Three however, we do all the time by watching other galaxies and noting funny things like strange spiral speeds, or higher than expected redshifts.

Answer 2

That would be 2.

Answer 3

There is a second mission which is planned by NASA in the near future . This time they will be more successful.
The laws of Physics are based on gravity what ever it was ever interpreted to be. In that sense they would apply to all galaxies wherever they are sitting(that is called a frame of reference).So if gravity mechanism is determined than we could understand how it applies to different galaxies. I was told that galaxies dont need a medium to travel just like light waves which are packet of waves.Since space is assumed to be a vacuum no medium could exist in a vaccum= I think,so I was told.
So all laws apply the same way in all the frame of references in the vaccum what ever that is.

Answer 4

1.) is unverifiable--how can you make a prediction for all time? It's a statement of belief without any backup.
2.) is unverifiable, therefore out of the realm of science.
3.) is conceivably verifiable. Is there room in the laws of physics as currently understood for this situation to occur?

I'd have to go with #3.

Answer 5

in fact i believe none...
humans have already set foot on moon
if not now..may b in the future it can b deteceted...u just cant predict
as far as physics is conserned..all the basic laws r same watever the case may b..there is nothin special in milky way tat some laws dont hold true here..unless in exceptional cases when v may b able to find some extrodinary constituents...

Answer 6

We've already set foot on the Moon, who ever made up this test is stupid.

Answer 7

Two

Answer 8

3 is the one and only
It is also the longest possible answer, most of the time that's the one if you don't know it

Answer 9

Three.

Answer 10

wow..im sorry but i dont understand any of this. maybe cause my science teacher sucks..
