Philosopher Richard Dawid, one of the organizers of the Munich meeting, has observed the same development and, in his book “String theory and the scientific method” argued that string ...

Every scientific theory relies on the scientific method. A scientist may make an observation and devise a hypothesis to explain that observation, then design an experiment to test that hypothesis.

The scientific method proceeds roughly as follows: An analyst writes down a mathematical model of the phenomena in question (the theory), collects some data and uses the tools of probabilistic ...

Reproduce the experiment until there are no discrepancies between observations and theory. "Replication of methods and results is my favorite step in the scientific method," Moshe Pritsker ...

A theory may be wrong, of course, since the problem of induction prevents absolute certainty. But the rigors of scientific method do make it unlikely that any will gain consensus without formidable ...

and so scientists have to be ready for a better theory or model to come along and replace it. The journey with which scientific discovery and change occurs has been distilled into what is referred to ...

This year, debates in physics circles took a worrying turn. Faced with difficulties in applying fundamental theories to the observed Universe, some researchers called for a change in how ...

But the main target of Ellis and Silk’s piece were observations made by philosopher Richard Dawid of Ludwig Maximilian University in his book String Theory and the Scientific Method (Cambridge Univ.

A scientific theory consists of one or more hypotheses ... It provides a host of descriptions for various mechanisms and describes the method by which evolution works. Another example is Einstein ...
