Scientific foresight
One
of the two main functions of scientific theory.
Foreseeing
is the logical deduction of a theory from an unknown fact.
The
reliability and correctness of scientific foresight, to the extent possible, is
the result of the theory revealing the nature of the object.
Scientific
observation
Scientific
observation is a purposeful and active observation under the guidance of
certain ideas or theories. Scientific observation method is one of the
important means to obtain perceptual materials about research objects.
Scientific
experiments
Scientific
experiment is a method that people control or simulate natural phenomena
artificially by using scientific instruments and equipment according to certain
research purposes, so that the natural process or production process is
presented in a pure and typical form, so as to observe and study under
favorable conditions.
Model test
Model
experiment is to design models similar to objects or natural phenomena,
simulate prototypes with them, and indirectly study the properties and
characteristics of prototypes through experiments on models.
Observability
The
word "observable" refers to the characteristics of any phenomenon that
can be directly observed in People's Daily experience, and the laws of
experience are the laws of observable phenomena.
Scientific
discoveries
Scientific
discovery is the revelation of unknown things or laws in scientific activities,
mainly including the discovery of facts and the presentation of theories.
Reduction analysis
method
The
essence of logical positivism, one of the cores of modern empiricism.
In
order to carry out the principle of empirical proof, we must find a way to restore
from theory to experience, so we use mathematical logic to reduce scientific
propositions and programs to initial propositions and terms, that is, empirical
basis, so as to find the means of empirical proof for all scientific
propositions.
Divergent thinking
Divergent
thinking refers to the thinking of highly active and open-minded in scientific
thinking.
Convergence thinking
Convergent
thinking refers to the thinking in scientific thinking which is based on the
traditional consensus and constrained by a series of norms.
