One finds the truth by making a hypothesis and comparing observations with the hypothesis.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth.
When a truth is necessary, the reason for it can be found by analysis, that is, by resolving it into simpler ideas and truths until the primary ones are reached.
When the scientific method came into being, it gave us a new window on the truth; namely, a method by laboratory-controlled experiments to winnow true hypotheses from false ones.
A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.
Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.
The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.
There's two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.
There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
