neil2366 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 The beginning of an investigation, not a methodology. Not the beginning of a methodology, the beginning of an investigation. An investigation is what we're beginning, as opposed to a methodology like you're misreading it to be. We can start an investigation at an arbitrary place as long as the methodology we use is sound. Using sound methodology throughout, where we begin an investigation can be chosen arbitrarily. False dilemma. You're assuming the direction is wrong simply because it was chosen arbitrarily. This really isn't throwing darts like you seem to think. If you're proposing an hypothesis, chances are you won't have a lot of choices where to start your investigation (indeed, you may have only one place to start). If there are multiple good places to start, why do you object to the starting place being chosen arbitrarily? I think you either have an overly rigid concept of the scientific method, or you misunderstand the idea of choosing from multiple, equally sufficient starting points by whim or personal preference. I think this point has been belabored into senselessness. The starting point to any scientific investigation should be in context to the investigation itself, and will most likely vary depending on the phenomena involved. nt Can you explain one phenomena? let me share simple example. if ten people clap one by one in a room we can count 10 claps --event is sequential as time gap is involved.Now if 10 people ina same room clap at once we will here only one loud clap. where 9 count vanish .--event is simultaneous where time gap is very small so feels like disappear. in our cerabral system to everything in universe as aphenomena going through simultaneous & sequential events all the time. Isn't it? not understanding simultaneous phase of the total event led us to hypothesis as there is need for algoritham that fulfill both simultaneous & sequential event with precision as many good scientist often looking for.
