For more about Scientific Theories go to Asimov's Relativity of Wrong . Science cannot lead us to absolute truth, since facts are even subject to interpretation. Truth is interpretation of fact, and part of the scientific attitude is that any such interpretation is subject to correction. Although the scientific method has been established and dutifully followed, does it improve critical thinking and discovery. Physicist Robert March maintains that the scientific method only applies to the way facts and ideas are tested.
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.
Science does not claim to have all the answers. Science is a way of looking at things, and the first approach of a scientist is to doubt and not believe. In order to determine if science and its theories are justifiable, and provide the best possible explanation of the natural world, the theory must pass numerous tests. In other words it must be repeatable . Once a theory is established it will exert a powerful influence over further scientific investigation.
