The controls shows the normal state of affairs, so as to allow a comparison with the experiment results, and to help ascertain that the results obtained were due to the factors tested in the experiment, and not a natural occurence/incidence. Having controls in an experiment can thus be said to validate the experiment itself.

How many controls can you have in an experiment?

The number of controls in an experiment can vary depending on the study design and objectives. Typically, experiments include at least one control group to compare against the experimental group, but researchers may include multiple controls to account for various factors, such as environmental conditions or specific variables. Ultimately, the number of controls should be sufficient to ensure the reliability and validity of the results without complicating the experiment unnecessarily.
