Scientific Method:
Observation -> hypothesis -> investigation/experiment -> comparison of results with observation -> confirm -> reinforce hypothesis, else modify -> repeat until results concur with observation, else abandon hypothesis and start from scratch. Publish paper -> peers test findings to failure point -> confirm results, else correct errors/biases -> findings survive peer review, else destroyed -> theory.
And that's the Janet And John version.
