Science is a method of discovering reliable knowledge about nature. A scientific method, by definition, is repeatable. If an experiment result cannot be verified by repeating, it is not scientific.

The Scientific Methods

Science is often characterized by a rigid scheme called “The Scientific method.” Some steps in the scientific method:

1. Observation

2. Pattern recognition

3. Hypothesis

4. Prediction

5. Testing.

Truth and Proof in Science

Experiments sometimes produce results which cannot be explained with existing theories.

Inherent impediments in scientific methods

Main factors for communication:

1. Perception It is the means leading to knowledge. Due to limitations of the means, through which knowledge is obtained, it does not give full knowledge.

2. Observations made with inappropriate methods.

3. Experiments with inadequate instruments available at a particular point of time, limited to available technologies.

4. Inference Observing a symptom, knowledge is obtained through cause and effect. Due to limitations of the observation true knowledge is not obtained. To reach ever elusive final truth repeated, experiments and observations with the latest scientific development, modern technologies and sophisticated instruments are ongoing processes. In the process text books are rewritten, old theories are being discarded,
