, H1: Experimental design
1.1 Science?
= a way of knowing things about the natural world, relying on certain principles
= organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe;
relies on empirical evidence obtained through observation, experimentation and logical
reasoning to understand natural phenomena
o Being in a dark room and looking for the black cat using a flashlight
Science is not the only thing to gain information:
• Religion: a set of beliefs, practices and values centred around the worship of a deity or
deities, often involving rituals, moral codes and a worldview that addresses fundamental
questions about existence
o Being in a dark room and believing there is a black cat in the room, without having
ever seen a black cat or seeing a black cat enter the room
• Metaphysics: branch of philosophy that explores fundamental concepts such as
existence, reality, causation, nature of being,.. extending beyond the empirical
observations of the physical world
o Being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn’t there
• Philosophy: systematic inquiry into fundamental questions about knowledge, existence,
ethics, reason, mind and language, using critical and logical analysis to seek
understanding and meaning in various aspects of the human experience
o Being in a dark room and looking for a black cat
• Theology: study of the nature of the divine, religious beliefs and the relationship between
humanity and the divine. Often involves interpretation of sacred text and exploration of
religious doctrines and traditions.
o Being in a dark room, looking for a black cat that isn’t there and shouting “I found
it!”
1.2 Principles of science
Science and scientific method rely on fundamental principles:
1. Empiricism: knowledge gained through observation and experimentation
2. Systematic observation: data is collected in an organized and structured manner
3. Reproducibility: experiments and observations should be independently repeatable
4. Falsifiability: scientific theories and hypotheses must be formulated in a way that allows
them to be tested and potentially proven false
5. Objectivity: scientific inquiry should be free from personal bias or preconceived notions
6. Hypothesis testing: formulating clear, testable predictions based on a hypothesis
7. Peer review: evaluation of scientific work by experts in the same field before publication
8. Consistency with existing knowledge: new findings should be consistent with established
scientific principles
9. Openness and transparency: sharing methods, data and findings openly with scientific
community
10. Occam’s razor: when multiple explanations are available is the simplest one often the
most likely
