Answer 1

I'm not sure i understand your question correctly but here goes:

The Scientific method is best way yet discovered for winnowing the truth from lies and delusion. The simple version looks something like this:

1) Observation: When one records a particular phenomena or the behavior of a phenomena.

2) The Formulation of hypothesis. This is an educated guess as to why nature is behaving the way it is or how it will behave next. What makes a hypothesis a scientific one, and not just some speculation is the fact that a hypothesis must be testable and fallible

3) Prediction. One must then produce a logical deduction from hypothesis as regards what would one expect if that hypothesis were proven to be true.

4) Experimentation. This involves testing hypothesis by means of tests that may be repeated in other labs so as to (dis)prove the results. Controlled experimentation is sometimes practiced, that is, when Karl Popper's assertion that science can only be certain when one proves the negation. Thus, if one wants to prove that a plant needs water, one should only NOT give water to the plant. Obviously, controlled experimentation is not conducted medically for ethical purposes.

5) Publication of results. The scientific community must be able to repeat, confirm or reject findings. If no falsifications occur, then findings could be well on their way on becoming theory over a long period of time.

I hope that helped, good luck on your project :)
