The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

Science is always inquiring.
Indeed, every true science has for its object the determination of certain phenomena by means of others, in accordance with the relations which exist between them.
I always say, 'Let your experiment speak to you.' What I mean by that is I - actually, we, or, at least, I'm not smart enough, actually, to guess how nature is working, but by looking and doing the right experiments and paying close attention to the subtleties of it, you start to catch on.
In fact, quantitative findings of any material and energy changes preserve their full context only through their being seen and understood as parts of a natural order.
It is thus necessary to examine all things according to their essence, to infer from every species such true and well established propositions as may assist us in the solution of metaphysical problems.
If you do an experiment and it gives you what you did not expect, it is a discovery.
But a science is exact to the extent that its method measures up to and is adequate to its object.
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.
One of the distinguishing features of anything that aspires to the name of science is the reproducibility of experimental results.
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
