Good Scientists follow Bayesian Statistics. Update scientific theories based on evidence that is observed.

Science is more than the Scientific Method. It is a mindset that involves constantly observing the world, and trying to explain the unexpected with scientific theory.

No scientific law can ever be proven. First principles themselves are assumptions about the world. We can, however, refute our assumptions through testing.

All observations and measurements we make are based on a (technically arbitrary) standard that everyone has agreed upon.
