Principles
The practice of disovering repeatable protocols that consistently deliver predictable results.
Evolve by exploring with experiments
| Practice | Habit |
|---|---|
| Make an observation | Develop curious attention |
| Ask a question | The best you can think of |
| Research | Learn about the subject |
| Hypothesis | A testable explanation |
| Make predictions | Make predictions of expected outcomes |
| Experiment | Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis |
| Data/Analysis | Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data |
| Conclusion | How accurate was your prediction |
| Iterate | Ask an evolved question |
Today's facts are tomorrow's fiction.
Hypothesis
A good hypothesis statement includes four attributes:
- Can be disagreed with.
- Subject can be improved and quantified.
- Clearly expresses one main idea.
- Has potentional for a clear conclusion.
Observer Effect
The observer effect refers to the fact that observing a situation inevitably changes it. While observer effects are fundamental in quantum mechanics, they also occur in classical systems across various fields like sociology, psychology, linguistics, and computer science.
Ignoring observer effects can lead to errors interpreting results, so addressing them is important.
Problems
- Research funding is hard to come by and centralized
- Replication is tough as much is done in silos
- Incentives are off-kilter with only 2% of funding going to researchers under 35
- Data is often inaccessible and lives behind paywalls
DeSci
Decentralised science.
Rapdidly validate with unbiased replicatable results to point to new truths.
