MM Comment #1:
Here’s what it gave us:
“The Scientific Method is a systematic approach to conducting empirical research and acquiring knowledge about the natural world.
It is a structured process that scientists and researchers use to investigate questions, solve problems, and test hypotheses. While there are variations in how it’s articulated, the scientific method generally includes the following key steps:
1. Observation: The process begins with making observations or noting a phenomenon in the natural world. Observations can lead to questions or hypotheses.
2. Question: Based on observations, a specific question is formulated that addresses the phenomenon or issue of interest.
3. Hypothesis: A testable and falsifiable hypothesis is developed. This is a proposed explanation for the observed phenomenon. It should be clear and specific, and it should predict a result that can be tested through experiment.
4. Prediction: From the hypothesis, specific predictions are made about what should happen in a controlled experiment or under specific conditions. These predictions help design the experiment.
5. Experiment: A controlled experiment is designed and conducted to test the predictions and the hypothesis. In an experiment, variables are manipulated, and outcomes are measured and recorded. Careful controls are put in place to isolate the effect of the variate of interest.
[Please take note: THE FIRST STEP of having a valid INDEPENDENT VARIABLE is crucial. Also, careful controls are essential in order to “ISOLATE THE EFFECT OF THE VARIATE OF INTEREST” as stated above.
This is thoroughly presented in the post, “AI ChatBot Admits Virologists Don’t Conduct Valid Scientific Experiments” which you’re encouraged to read and can be found HERE.]
6. Data Collection: Data is collected from the experiment or observations, and it is recorded and analyzed. The data should be objective, reliable, and relevant to the hypothesis.
7. Analysis: The data is analyzed to determine whether the results support or refute the hypothesis. Statistical methods may be used to assess the significance of the findings.
8. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of the data, a conclusion is drawn regarding whether the hypothesis is supported or refuted. The findings may lead to a revision of the hypothesis or the formulation of new questions.
9. Communication: The results of the research are typically communicated to the scientific community and the public through scientific papers, presentations, or other forms of dissemination.
10. Peer Review: Scientific findings are often subject to peer review, where experts in the field evaluate the research for its quality, validity, and reliability.
11. Replication: In order to validate results, other researchers may attempt to replicate the experiment or study to confirm the findings.
The scientific method is an iterative process, and new observations and questions can lead to additional research and refinement of scientific knowledge.
It emphasizes empirical testing, objectivity, and the importance of independent verification to ensure the validity of scientific findings.”

When answering the question we posed, the AI Chat Bot did a better job of defining The Scientific Method than any virologist can.
If you’re a Medical Researcher please read, A Farewell To Virology (Experts Edition) which you can find HERE.
