Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism.

The value and utility of any experiment are determined by the fitness of the material to the purpose for which it is used, and thus in the case before us it cannot be immaterial what plants are subjected to experiment and in what manner such experiment is conducted.

At MIT, I had the good fortune for seven years to teach network theory, which is basic to many disciplines, to one-third of the undergraduate student body. It was an experiment to see how high we could bring their level of understanding, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Scientific Method
Im critically thinking
I observe her emotions.
I predict about her feelings.
Then experiment on her attraction.
I graph a correlation of our relations.
We sometimes become negative and we sometimes become positive.
But I never figure out a problem.
So my theory is not solved.
I couldn't find her behaviorism.
But finding her heart was my mission.
I got to formulate a bond between us.
We love each other then we don't so where is the trust.
She is my case study, but it don't take psychology or biology to find our loving.
No couseling.
We must create positive bonds not electrons.
We must be together like hydrophilic(water loving) not hydrophobic (not water loving)
I done so many researches of facts but never find the cause and effect.
Im just a scientist of love and our test results started out positive but ended up negative.
My hypothesis I guess she thinks I cheated on her.
I try to do this experiment methodical, but I can't go by a horoscope of astrology.
Biology or chemistry and I'm not a mind reader like psychology.
But maybe I should make a explanation of what have changeher emotions.
She say the things I do was the cause of her emotion.
So her heart is broken.
And she hold my heart as her token it was never mistaken but my eyes are awaken.
I made mistakes that I wish I could change, but my actions had cause her pain.
So my theory was my actions of hurting her and I will promise that I will remain true.
Not talking about true religion but im talking about vision of our future.
You see i predict a hypothesis that we will be together forever only if I dont make her cry like a bad weather.
Or fail this experiment with a error.
I'm trying to overcome matter of nature and with you I will cherish
like treasure.
That is hidden on this earth to keep you safe from terror.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

I believe without exception that theory follows practice. Whenever there is a conflict between theory and practice, theory is wrong. As far as I'm concerned, we make theories for what people have done.

To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.

It is important to experiment and endlessly seek after creating the best possible flavors when preparing foods. That means not being afraid to experiment with various ingredients.

A theory is only as good as its assumptions. If the premises are false, the theory has no real scientific value. The only scientific criterion for judging the validity of a scientific theory is a confrontation with the data of experience.

In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature.
