If scientists are wrong how would someone go about proving them wrong?

In a very real sense, scientists are always trying to prove themselves wrong. That's what it means to form a hypothesis and test it in order to "falsify" a theory. The best way to prove something in science is wrong is to become a real scientist, and investigate the subject you believe has errors using the scientific method yourself. You could also try watching "Mythbusters". Despite being entertainment, they actually do real science every week.


What are the the steps in the scientifit method?

1. Develop a hypothesis (a "what if" statement) based on observations and research. (Most people mistakenly call this a "Theory", but it's not) 2. Do your best to prove that your hypothesis is wrong. (Nope, it is NOT to prove it right the way many believe). 3. Invite others to "test" your hypothesis by trying to prove it is wrong. Example: Based on what I have seen, tested, and measured, I say that the 50-50 mixture of strawberry ice cream with chocolate ice cream produces grey ice cream. I used Dreier's ice cream in my tests. I will try to prove that hypothesis as wrong, wrong, wrong by redoing the tests and using new tests. I get the same results. I will invite others to prove that my grey ice cream hypothesis is wrong by doing THEIR tests and measurements. When I publish the results, I am forced to modify the hypothesis or give up on it because everyone else's tests and observations of many brands of ice cream show that a mixture of strawberry and chocolate ice cream is close to grey, but not exactly. Darn!

Why is it just as important to prove a hypothesis is wrong as to prove it is right?

Its important to prove a hypotheses is wrong as it is to prove it right because when you set out to do a lab, you must make your prediction before you start. When you are finished with the lab, you write your report, and that is the time to either prove or disprove your theory. Science isn't all about getting the right hypothesis or answer; it's more about thinking and understanding.
