== Paleoscience and worldview of the scientists ==

Since paleosciences do not deal with direct observations of the [[Phenomena#Scientific phenomena|phenomena]] that took place in the unobservable past, but rather with their effects, they are sometimes referred to as [[historical science | historical sciences]]. This differentiates them from [[empirical science | empirical science]] that primarily rely on the possibility to repeatedly conduct the [[experiment | experiment]].{{#tag:ref| The term paleoscience also correlates to [[origin science]], and [[historical science]] to [[operation science]], respectively. |group=note}} As it is not possible to travel in time and directly observe the past phenomena, paleosciences are dependent on assumptions that are in principle not absolutely verifiable. Thus, the worldview of scientist might play a dominant role in the process of selection of these explanatory assumptions as well as when interpreting the current findings and observed effects of the past [[Phenomena#Scientific phenomena|phenomena]].
