The Scientific Method


The search for truth
Is as futile as trying to see your own eyes
The truth is not something underground that we can dig up
It is not a song we can write, or a god we invent
It is not something we lose or gain
Nor something that we can defend or destroy
The truth is
There is no truth
The truth is
Everything in the known universe
Is in a continuous state of flux
In so much as the act of observing a particle
Will even change its position
We will die before our quest's end
True purpose
True justice
True love
We will never find it
Because
It is not something one can find
We will have never have the "truth"
Like a bead of water dropped on a hot rock
It vaporizes on contact

That is the only truth we can ever know
All we have, or ever will have, is a hypothesis

Hypothesis
A proposal based on observations which then becomes the basis for further investigation

As so many have not fully understood
Science is not "truth"
It is a hypothesis
Inherent in its equation, a hypothesis is void of answer
An unending cycle of experimentation and investigation
That strives not to seek an ending
But rather enrich and savor the experience of discovery
Science is the search for more questions
Not answers

Open your mind
See the world unclouded
And you will not discover the truth
You will become one with it
