The idea that space contained a substance call "aether" which carried light. Michelson and Morley developed a device to measure Earth's motion through it. I was a classic failure, and continues to be.

Is scientific law based on scientific evidence?

Scientific laws are based on scientific experiments, scientific conclusions after exhaustive tests, and they are also based on formerly scientific discoveries and experiments. Scientific evidence without a conclusive proof may be a false evidence. Scientific evidence doesn't exist. Science is not based on evidences, but on real results originated from a theory. Results are solid, palpable, real and cannot be doubted.

Why do you think it is a scientific theory instead of a law?

A scientific theory attempts to explain observations by construction a system of mechanisms by which the observations can be accurately predicted.A scientific law is simply a statement summarizing the results of observations without providing any attempt at explaining the observations.For example, Newtonian physics is a scientific theory that attempts to explain, amongst other things, the motion of objects when subjected to gravity.The law of gravity is merely a mathematical formula that describes the force of gravity felt between any two objects (with limitations if the objects are incredibly small - see quantum mechanics) but does not attempt to explain why the formula is what it is. Scientific laws simply summarize the empirical (observed) data available.


What is the meaning of 'honesty of scientific attitude'?

Can you make inferences without making observations first why?

No, inferences are conclusions drawn based on observed evidence or facts. Without making observations first, there is no basis to draw logical conclusions or make accurate inferences. Observations provide the necessary information to make sense of a situation and draw meaningful conclusions.


Why did Thomas Edison create the light bulb?

Mankind has survived thousands of years without the light bulb. We could survive without it now. Thomas Edison was known to mainly improve ideas of others. He was a hard worker and never gave up on his experiments. The electric light was another idea he was going to solve.


What are types of observations?
