“The scientific method is doing its job rendering old theories obsolete or true in scope than previously thought.”
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
The scientific method helps us understand the world better by testing old ideas and theories. Sometimes, it shows that these theories are wrong, or outdated, while other times, it reveals that they are more useful and accurate than we first realized. Imagine you always believed that eating carrots helps you see better in the dark. Scientists study this belief by testing it in many different ways, and they may find out that while carrots are healthy, they don't actually improve night vision. This new information will change the way people think about carrots and eyesight. In our daily lives, we can use this approach by always being open to new information and willing to question our current beliefs. By doing so, we can make better choices based on the latest, most accurate information.
