Thanks for catch! 5 star + ~TheDoctor “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.” ~ Max Planck |

If I were always wrong in my hypothesis and shocked at results, I would have to rethink my career. Seriously, when you do an experiment, there's a list of plausible outcomes that you would expect -- But each time there's a "surprise" they "didn't see". In my opinion, this can only happen if your base understanding of fundamental concepts are severely lacking or downright wrong. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1492996 Now, being somewhat of a "scientific method" person, when I do experiments, it's because I'm expecting certain results to validate and test the hypothesis.

Modern science (western science especially) is "shackled" by a dogmatic adherence to a rigidly mechanistic & materialistic paradigm.
