easier for commercial transactions to take place between geographic communities. Measurement is the basis of much of the entire enterprise of science, where phenomena are observed, analyzed, and described. Measurements serve as evidence to support the theories that scientists propose to explain phenomena. The scientific community makes many demands on a measurement system. A scientific system of measurement must have reproducible standards, well-defined fundamental…

The scientific method is the tool that scientist have used through the human history to understand how many phenomena occur in the in the universe. However, the universe can be complex to be recorded in some cases, for example, how a body is affected when it suffers the speed of the light could be hardly testable. This complexity makes the scientists use their instinct and abilities at the time they applied the scientific method. In addition, an absolute truth cannot be obtained. The universe…

suggest you not to pay for the “ghost removal”. First of all, Geistology is not a real theory so far.

Although the scientists may attempt to make the theory accepted, there is still a…

what the term “theory” means, then I came across with the term “core explanatory theories” which had no idea what it meant what so ever. So, I was able to learn that core explanatory theories are theories that are firmly established through accumulation of a substantial body of supporting evidence and have no competitors such as cell theory, periodic law, etc. In other words, I learned that the term theory can mean and represent different meanings depending on what field the term theory is being…
