To illustrate this principle, consider a simple exercise: put a penny on your tongue and hold it there for as long as possible without swallowing it.

Then repeat this procedure with a nickel and a dime before taking it off your tongue completely. Unless you have recently been caught without a penny in your pocket or have had a significant amount of dental work performed, it should be a snap to hold all three coins in place at once without letting them fall into your mouth. If so, you will be demonstrating an understanding of the scientific method: You used one experiment (holding all three coins on your tongue) to deduce conclusions about how things work (coins will not fall into your mouth).

It’s important to note that this exercise relies on deductive reasoning rather than inductive reasoning: You concluded that something was true based on observations that led you to that conclusion (holding all three coins on your tongue). You did not observe that something was true and assume that it was so because you had already observed it (holding all three coins on your tongue). So what does this have to do with improving our understanding of science? Everything! The scientific method can be boiled down almost entirely to one principle: observation leads to observations leads to conclusions—which leads us back to more observations…

It's the man who is stupid! . C. Joybell C.

People should be falling in love with people! Not with ideas! . C. Joybell C.
