INTRODUCTION
When a scientist iscovcrs rclalionship hat scems o hold lruc wilhout
exception, he or she formllla tcs a hjpathctis, A hypolhcsis is a rcnLative or
temporaryolution oascientific roblcm rancxplanation or why somelhing
happens. Ahhough a hypothesis sually devclops rom the intuiLion of thc
scientist, t is based n obseryations r facts. ForcxamDlc, Charlrs Darwin's
hypothesis bout evolution ame10him whilc hc was riding n a carriage hc
wrote/ /I can cmcmber hevery spot n t hc road"), ul Lhc dea was he prcducl
of many years f study andexperimen(alion.
A hypothesis does not always prove 1o be corrcc l, and it may have to be
rejecledallogeth er or at least reviscd. Progrcss nvolves conlinually refining
hypotheses s new information omes ( ) ighl. For cxample, ince no one has
ever seen he structurc f an atom, cienlisls ontinually cvisehcirhypolhesis
about what it looks ikc.
As evidence s gathcrcd o suppon a hypolhesis nd ! bccomes ccepred n
the scientific world, it is referred to as a llreory lbr cxamplc, rhc rheory of
relativity). When a theory cxplains or unifies a grca! dcal ol inlbrmatirnr, l
becomes nown as a pri ltiple, ot ilduttdl dty tor example, Archimedcs' principle
of waler displacemen tor the law of graviry).

A definilion answers he queslion, "what is i1?" so metimes a deliniiion is
necessary ecause word or concept hasmore than one meaning. Forexample,
wherhcr carbon s a mctal or nonmetal depends on how yoll deline carbon Al
oiher t;mes, a definilion is required becalrsc a term is being uscd in a spe(ial
way. For examplc, physicisis use thc lerms lL,otf t nd erfltu, in ways thal are
more specific than thei( common meanings. A dclinition should be complete
enough !o include all thc items n the calegory yet narrow enough to eliminate
iremsthat do not bclong. The Greek philosopher Plalo oncc defined man as a
two-lcgged crealurc hat has no fealhcrs. His critic Diogencs cfl the room and
brought back a bird withoul fealhcrs, declaring, "Herc is Plat()'s man!" The
problem with Plato's efinition was that it did no1distinguish a man Iiom
other twolegged creaturcswithout feathers, Communicalion etwccn researchers
is dcpendenl on pr€cise definilions of substan(es, conccpls, processes, nd
ideas.
