How to look for new Laws (Designs, Concepts, or Principles)…

First we Guess; then…

We Compute the Consequences of the Guess to see what it would imply; then…

We Compare the Computation results to Nature, or Compare to Experiment, or Compare to Experience… of direct observation; to see if it works.

 

If it Disagrees with Experiment, it is Wrong; this simple Statement is the “Key to Science;” it does not matter how beautiful the Computation, or Who expressed it, it is Wrong.

 

So the simple concept sequence is…

Guess → Compute Consequences → Compare to Nature, Experiment, and Experience
