In a scientific context, a prediction is a rigorous (often quantitative) statement about what will happen under specific conditions, typically expressed in the form If A is true, then B will also be true. The scientific method is built on testing predictions which are logical consequences of scientific theories. A scientific theory whose predictions are not in accordance with observations will probably be rejected. Additionally, if new theories generate many new predictions, they are often highly valued, for they can be quickly and ea ...

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - Evaluations and iterations
Scientific method - Testing and improvements.
The scientific process is iterative. At any stage it is possible that some consideration will lead the scientist to repeat an earlier part of the process. Failure to develop an interesting hypothesis may lead a scientist to re-define the subject they are considering. Failure of a hypothesis to produce interesting and testable predictions may lead to reconsideration of the hypothesis or of the definition of the subject. Failure of the experiment to produce interesting results may lead the scientist to reconsidering the exper ...

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - Elements of scientific method The essential elements of a scientific method are iterations, recursions, interleavings and orderings of the following:
Characterizations (Quantifications, observations and measurements)
Hypotheses (theoretical, hypothetical explanations of observations and measurements)
Predictions (reasoning including logical deduction from hypotheses and theories)
Experi ...

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - Scope and goals Scientific method can be applied to anything within the range of our experiences. As long as something has an effect on our lives, we can formulate theories and try to predict what this effect might be. The effect itself is an experiment, testing whether our theory was right.
People use scientific methods all the time. They have theories about devices and make predictions how those will react to their actions. If a device does not work as expected, the experiment may disprove their theory. If they adjust their theory, they are applying scientific methods; if they nevertheless stick to their t ...

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - Scientific communities Frequently the scientific method is not employed by a single person, but by several people cooperating directly or indirectly. Such cooperation can be regarded as one of the defining elements of a scientific community. Various techniques have been developed to ensure the integrity of the scientific method within such an environment.

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - History The development of the scientific method is inseparable from the history of science itself. Although documents from even before 1000 BC exists that describe methods resembling that of the scientific method, it wasn't until the advent of the culture of Ancient Greece that the first elements of the scientific method were well established. The crystallization of the scientific method took place with the rise of modern physical sciences, in the 17th and 18th centuries. In his work Novum Organum--a reference to Aristotle's Organon-- ...

| | | | Prediction - Scientific prediction: Encyclopedia II - Scientific method - Philosophical issues The study of a scientific method is distinct from the practice of science and is more a part of the philosophy, history and sociology of science than of science. While such studies have limited direct impact on day-to-day scientific practice, they have a vital role in justifying and defending the scientific approach.
We find ourselves in a world that is not directly understandable. We find that we sometimes disagree with others as to the facts of the things we see in the world around us, and we find that there are things in the world ...
