You're right!

I was tricked into spreading "the word". Those people are SMART!

Yeah.

I have a Hypothesis that some users quote the entire conversation simply to stretch their post.

The experimental data (posts following this one) can be analysed for Length versus New Content in order to test the veracity of my Hypothesis.

So daltons atomic theory, this wasn't tested by dalton was it
he could not see atoms, was it a hypothesis that evolved unto atomic theory

I will jump out on that limb from what I learned in this thread.

Daltons theories, led to the hypothesis that led to the realization of splitting the atom.

Dalton is accredited for atomic theory but some of the core beliefs were later proven wrong

I guess I mean democritus,

His idea of the atom was not hypothesis nor theory but supposition and guess, with no way to test his ideas.
Correct?

Apparently his theories became hypothesis with some evidence. Still not accepted as law but enough to be credited as hypothesis.

Quote: Wiki

"The theory of the atomists appears to be more nearly aligned with that of modern science than any other theory of antiquity. However, the similarity with modern concepts of science can be confusing when trying to understand where the hypothesis came from. It is obvious that classical atomists would never have had a solid empirical basis for our modern concepts of atoms and molecules. Bertrand Russell states that they just hit on a lucky hypothesis, only recently confirmed by evidence.[33]

However, Lucretius, describing atomism in his De rerum natura, gives very clear and compelling empirical arguments for the original atomist theory. He observes that any material is subject to irreversible decay. Through time, even hard rocks are slowly worn down by drops of water'

Really is amazing how those Minds came up with stuff, considering that a valid counter-argument of that time would have been that it wasn't Water doing the eroding, it was magic pixies with tiny silver pick-axes.

I do agree with you.

What would even start such a thought process...

Why?





How about you introduce a new relevant question or thought to this discussion.

I just read the whole thread and it seemed to me to be unnecessarily convoluted -- both the persons confused and also those attempting to alleviate the confusion.
The Scientific method is not really that complicated. If you had a specific question I am certain that someone would answer it.
