Using a scientific approach

by **Spirit-Being** on August 6th 2009, 12:55 am

The scientific method is a way to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and doing experiments.
The steps of the scientific method are to:
o Ask a Question
o Do Background Research
o Construct a Hypothesis
o Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
o Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
o Communicate Your Results
It is important for your experiment to be a fair test. A "fair test" occurs when you change only one factor (variable) and keep all other conditions the same.

I use this method when editing html and css codes when working on web pages i change a part of it see if it works and i continue to experiment until i can find the solution.

I don't think that the results need be communicated. Often they are not.
A problem is that the 'conclusions' are far from definite/ultimate and so lead to new "questions", with the cycle repeating 'endlessly' in a spiralling loop....

QM has shown us that this is, actually, not possible.

Most of it.
