The United Kingdom has no official language. English is the main language and the de facto official language, spoken monolingually by an estimated 95% of the UK population.
However, some nations and regions of the UK have frameworks for the promotion of autochthonous languages. In Wales, English and Welsh are both widely used by officialdom, and Irish and Ulster Scots enjoy limited use alongside English in Northern Ireland, mainly in publicly commissioned translations. Additionally, the Western Isles r ...

| | | | | Baconian method: Encyclopedia II - Experiment - Natural experiments Sometimes controlled experiments are prohibitively difficult or impossible, so researchers resort to natural experiments. Natural experiments rely solely on observations of the variables of the system under study, rather than manipulative control of those variables, as occurs in a controlled experiment. To the degree possible, they attempt to collect data for the system in such a way that the effects of variation in certain variables can be held approximately constant so that the effects of other variables can be discerned. The degree ...

| | | | | Baconian method: Encyclopedia II - Experiment - Design of experiments Design of experiments attempts to balance the requirements and limitations of the field of science in which one works so that the experiment can provide the best conclusion about the hypothesis being tested.
In some sciences, such as physics and chemistry, it is relatively easy to meet the requirements that all measurements be made objectively, and that all conditions can be kept controlled across experimental trials. On the other hand, in other cases such as biology, and medicine, it is often hard to ensure that the conditions ...

| | | | | Baconian method: Encyclopedia II - Experiment - An experiment in baking As a simple example, consider that many bakers have noticed that the amount of "fluffiness" in a loaf of bread seems to be related to how much humidity there is in the air when the dough is being made. This can be formalized as the hypothesis: "all other things being considered equal, the greater the humidity, the fluffier the bread".
Whilst this hypothesis might arise naturally from baking many loaves over time, an experiment to determine whether this is really true would be to carefully prepare bread dough, as identically as possibl ...

| | | | | Baconian method: Encyclopedia II - Culture of the United Kingdom - Science and technology Ever since the scientific revolution, the United Kingdom has been prominent in world scientific and technological development. The philosopher Francis Bacon put forward his Baconian method in his 1620 book, Novum Organum. This method promoted empiricism and induction in scientific enquiry and was one of the driving forces behind the scientific revolution.
Possibly the most famous of all British scientists, Isaac Newton, is considered by historians of science to have crowned and ended the scientific revolution with the 1687 publ ...

| | | | | Baconian method: Encyclopedia II - Culture of the United Kingdom - Naming convention The naming convention in most of the United Kingdom is for everyone to have a given name, usually (but not always) indicating the child's sex, followed by a parent's family name. This naming convention has remained much the same since the 15th century in England although patronymic naming remained in some of the further reaches of the other home nations until much later. Since the 19th century middle names have become v ...

Culture of the United Kingdom - Housing.
The United Kingdom has the third highest population density in Europe after the Netherlands and Belgium. Housing tends to be smaller and more closely packed than in other countries.
In the larger cities (and in the centres of historic cities and towns) flats and terraced housing are the most frequent housing type available. In the suburbs and in smaller towns most people live in semi-detached or ...

Although there is ample evidence of a rich and varied approach to cuisine during earlier historical periods (particularly so amongst wealthy citizens), during much of the 19th and 20th century Britain had a reputation for somewhat conservative cuisine. The stereotype of the native cuisine was of a diet progressing little beyond stodgy meals consisting of "meat and two veg". Even today, in more conservative areas of the country, "meat and two veg" cui ...
