3. Put members nicl-(x) number, e.g. nicl-1 or Yes/No persons name in Subject rectangle followed by the subject of question. For a long question, add more at top of Topic box.

4. Remember, an "I agree" or a "this is my last response" ends your part in the dialogue, and the other person gets the last word.

Finally, read and reread the Q&A procedures. They are meant to treat both sides of a Dialogue impartially.

PostPost subject: Wrong Predictions, The Only Path to "Perfect" Predictions
Posted: Mon Aug 10, 2009 8:00 pm
A Working Scientist's Method

Purpose defines method:A scientist job is to make perfect predictions where we are not yet doing so, using objective = "we all can potentially see used measures" of cause and effect to test their predictions.

Thus a theory's basic working purpose is to show scientists where their testable predictions are wrong, so they can take the difference between what is predicted and what the actual measurements are, and improve the theory.

Deliberately making wrong predictions, hopefully less wrong as you proceed, is the path to perfection. Unless you can describe what your theories can not predict accurately, and what predictions you are making and testing to eliminate these discrepancies, you are not a working scientist.

Making 'wrong' predictions is your lot in life. Lucky for us, trying to make perfect predictions means we never run out of work; and when you hit the jackpot, a perfect verified prediction, there is no better feeling.

Since science is for everyone, real scientists answer questions and challenges to our assertions about how the universe works from anyone. Questions please. A Scientist's Challenge
