Evidence
Information that we obtain by means of our senses is called observation.
Observation, like Tycho Brahe observing the motion of the planets; Experimentation, like Galileo dropping a ball from the tower of Pisa; and interpretation like Einstein's Brownian Motion. These are the ways evidence is gathered and all three can be wrong. Replication, others getting the same answers from repeating the first scientists work is a safeguard but not sure protection. For example the redshift is mis-interpreted to mean the Universe is expanding. The observation is correct but the interpretation is incorrect because of Group Think.

Scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence gathered through scientific experimentation and investigations
When something is empirically determined, it means that it is based on observation, experience, or experimental evidence rather than theory or speculation. It involves deriving conclusions from real-world data or evidence gathered through empirical methods such as experimentation or observation.
