This book looks at how science investigates the natural world
around us. It is an examination of the scientific method, the
foundation of science, and basis on which our scientific knowledge
is built on. Written in a clear, concise, and colloquial style, the
book addresses all concepts pertaining to the scientific method. It
includes discussions on objective reality, hypotheses and theory,
and the fundamental and inalienable role of experimental evidence
in scientific knowledge. This collection of personal reflections on
the scientific methodology shows the observations and daily uses of
an experienced practitioner. Massimiliano Di Ventra also examines
the limits of science and the errors we make when abusing its
method in contexts that are not scientific, for example, in
policymaking. By reflecting on the general method, the reader can
critically sort through other types of scientific claims, and judge
their ability to apply it in study and in practice.
