In a cautious or unsure way?

You might be thinking of the word tentative or tentatively.


What is tentative science?

Science is always a work in progress, and its conclusions are always tentative. But just as the word "theory" means something special to the scientist, so too does the word "tentative." Science's conclusions are not tentative in the sense that they are temporary until the real answer comes along. Scientific conclusions are well founded in their factual content and thinking and are tentative only in the sense that all ideas are open to scrutiny. In science, the tentativeness of ideas such as the nature of atoms, cells, stars or the history of the Earth refers to the willingness of scientists to modify their ideas as new evidence appears


What is another word for tentative explanation?

Another word for a tentative explanation is a "hypothesis." A hypothesis is a proposed explanation that is based on limited evidence and serves as a starting point for further investigation or experimentation. It is often subject to testing and refinement as more data becomes available.


What word is the opposite of cautious?

The opposite of cautious is: Careless or Hasty


What can be tentative?

Tentative refers to something that is uncertain, hesitant, or not fully decided. This can apply to plans, agreements, or decisions that are subject to change or confirmation. For example, a tentative schedule may indicate that the times and dates are not yet finalized. Similarly, a tentative response might reflect uncertainty or a lack of commitment.
