'A scientific method seeks to explain the events of nature in a reproducible way, and to use these reproductions to make us...' යොදමින් නව පිටුවක් තනන ලදි
Based on observations of a phenomenon, a scientist may generate a model. This is an attempt to describe or depict the phenomenon in terms of a logical physical or mathematical representation. As empirical evidence is gathered, a scientist can suggest a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon. This description can be used to make predictions that are testable by experiment or observation using scientific method. When a hypothesis proves unsatisfactory, it is either modified or discarded.
While performing experiments, scientists may have a preference for one outcome over another, and it is important that this tendency not bias their interpretation.[9][10] A strict following of a scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of a scientist's bias on the outcome of an experiment. This can be achieved by correct experimental design, and a thorough peer review of the experimental results as well as conclusions of a study.[11][12] Once the experiment results are announced or published, an important cross-check can be the need to validate the results by an independent party.[13]
Once a hypothesis has survived testing, it may become adopted into the framework of a scientific theory. This is a logically reasoned, self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of certain natural phenomena. A theory typically describes the behavior of much broader sets of phenomena than a hypothesis—commonly, a large number of hypotheses can be logically bound together by a single theory. These broader theories may be formulated using principles such as parsimony (e.g., "Occam's Razor"). They are then repeatedly tested by analyzing how the collected evidence (facts) compares to the theory. When a theory survives a sufficiently large number of empirical observations, it then becomes a scientific generalization that can be taken as fully verified.--[[User:Prabat|Prabat]] ([[User talk:Prabat|talk]]) 04:36, 8 සැප්තැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)--[[User:Prabat|Prabat]] ([[User talk:Prabat|talk]]) 04:36, 8 සැප්තැම්බර් 2012 (යූටීසී)
