The Scientific MethodThe Scientific Method
Is that it? Lot and lots of math?
2/18/1996
Goal
โ€ข What is the scientific method?
โ€ข What does the scientific method assume?
โ€ข Does the scientific method work?
โ€ข What is not a scientific argument.
โ€ข Does astrology follow the scientific method?
The Scientific Method
1. Observe an event.
2. Develop a model (or hypothesis) which makes a
prediction.
3. Test the prediction.
4. Observe the result.
5. Revise the hypothesis.
6. Repeat as needed.
7. A successful hypothesis becomes a Scientific
Theory.
model
test
What makes a hypothesis successful?
If it continues to make accurate predictions.
If a hypothesis frequently makes accurate
predictions it becomes a scientific theory.
Medical Science
Scientific Method High Cholesterol
Observation Patient has high cholesterol
Hypothesis
(prediction)
Certain chemicals may dissolve
cholesterol deposits.
Test Give 100 patients these
chemicals, give 100 patients
placebo.
Observe result Same number lower their
cholesterol as placebo patients.
Revise
hypothesis?
Try different combo of
chemicals.
New test? Re-run medical test. Observe
Everyday Science
Scientific Method Car Repair
Observation Engine wonโ€™t turn over.
Hypothesis (prediction) Predict battery is dead.
Test Replace battery.
Observe result Engine now turns over.
Revise hypothesis? Not needed.
New test? Not needed.
Scientific Theory Cars wonโ€™t work without a
fully charged battery.
Everyday Science
Scientific Method Making Spaghetti Sauce
Observation Spaghetti sauce should be red.
Hypothesis (prediction) Try a tomato sauce.
Test Heat pot of tomato sauce.
Observe result Taste the sauce - bland.
Revise hypothesis? Use tomato sauce and garlic!
New test? Add garlic, taste - not so bland.
Scientific Theory The Final Recipe.
Repeatability
A successful theory is
repeatable.
โ€“By you.
โ€“By anyone.
Requirements
โ€ข Objective reality
โ€“ We all see the same world.
โ€ข Constant Laws of Nature
โ€“ What happens here, happens there.
โ€“ What happened yesterday will happen tomorrow.
โ€ข The Universe is knowable.
Does it work?
โ€ข Scientific Method is a tool.
โ€ข Does this tool work?
The scientific method has helped increase life
expectancy, decrease mortality rates and build
new technologies. A lot of our modern
conveniences owe their discovery to the scientific
method.
โ€ข Are there better tools?
Theories
โ€ข So: a theory is a highly successful hypothesis.
โ€ข All hypotheses make predictions.
โ€ข All theories make predictions.
โ€ข All theories can be tested.
โ€ข Result: Any scientific theory is subject to
change as our ability to make tests, or make
observations of a testโ€™s results, improves with
time.
Falsification
โ€ข A real Scientific Theory tells you what
observations are necessary to falsify it.
Is Astrology a Science?
