00:01 Okay, wanted to answer this question, we have to talk about that scientific method.
00:09 Okay, what is the scientific method? well, it is a method, okay, of discovering knowledge about a natural world based on making falsifiable predictions.

00:37 Okay, this is what i am.
00:39 Scientific method is.

01:15 So does it mean that a hypothesis has to shown to be false? no...
