Advantages Of Scientific Method

Introduction

The Scientific Method is a process of investigating world around and collecting knowledge over time by our scientists. Most of the people in the world are familiar with the saying ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’. Everyday our world is witnessing many impressive inventions, discoveries which are greatly impacting human living. The effort someone puts in, to bring a change to the world we live in and to impact the human living is massive and majestic. There are many insightful people behind all these intuitive inventions and discoveries. These intuitive tasks take birth in the thought process of the individuals who are venturing to get a solution for the uncertainty in their minds. These people do a lot of background work, get solutions for the concerns and perform lots of observations, experiments to the solutions they arrived at to conclude a result. This process is often called as Scientific Method.

Robert Millikan, a Noble prize winner for Physics, once said, ‘Science walks forward on two feet, namely theory and experiment. Sometimes it is one foot which is put forward first, sometimes the other, but continuous progress is only made by the use of both – by theorizing and then testing, or by finding new relations in the process of experimenting and then bringing the theoretical foot up and pushing it beyond, and so on in unending alternation’. The quest for truth with clear thinking brought us to where we are today. Scientific methods provide us a way to not to fool ourselves with ignorance.

Scientific Methods can simply be described as an ability to investigate systematically along with taking notes, learning from peers and previous mistakes. Scientific method provides us a way of gaining knowledge...

Conjectures

A conjecture is an unproven point that appears to be right. Sometime it is called as hypothesis when used very often in proofs. The scientific method process involves creating conjectures, predicting with the help of observations and carrying out experiments based on them to prove the hypothesis.

Conclusion

Everyday our world is witnessing the usage of Scientific method in many inventions, discoveries or anything around us. These intuitive tasks will lead to great invention or theory by the scientists who are venturing to get a solution for the uncertainty in their minds. The scientific method distinguishing scientific experiments and other forms of explanations. It is nothing more in knowing a theory that how we can come up to a result with the help of observations and experiments.
