ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scientific perspectivism

Scientific perspectivism is a way of looking at the world that sees all theories, facts, and explanations as something that changes over time. It's like watching a movie with someone else -- each of you may have a different perspective on the movie based on your life experiences, or even just the angle of your seat. The same thing happens in science. Scientists may look at the same facts, but interpret them differently based on their background. It's important to be open-minded to different perspectives, because it can help us understand the world better.
