&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This flawed method created by a flerf nammed theviking:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scientific Method:&lt;br /&gt;
1) Observe Natural Phenomenon (occurring naturally in nature) see something in nature without man creating or causing it.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Background research &amp;amp; ask questions (see if anyone else has done the same experiment &amp;amp; explore possible reasons for the phenomena to occur) why, how, such happens.&lt;br /&gt;
3) Develop Hypothesis (If cause A &amp;quot;IV&amp;quot;, then effect B &amp;quot;DV&amp;quot;) Alt Hypothesis (if A, then B) &amp;amp; the contrapositive Null Hypothesis (if A, then not B).&lt;br /&gt;
4) Experiment (Vary &amp;amp; manipulate the presumed cause &amp;quot;IV&amp;quot;, to vary &amp;amp; induce the effect &amp;quot;DV&amp;quot;) Keeping everything else constant/controlled &amp;quot;CV&amp;quot;. Systematic experimentation validates your Hypothesis (proving the alt or the null)&lt;br /&gt;
5) Conclusion/Publish (which Hypothesis was proven &amp;quot;alt or null&amp;quot;) either of them would be proof about the observed natural phenomena in step 1, and would be part of step 2 for the next researcher.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
