The scientific method is the system used by scientists
to explore data, generate and test hypotheses, develop
new theories and confirm or reject earlier results.
Although the exact methods used in the different
sciences vary (for example, physicists and
psychologists work in very different ways), they share
some fundamental attributes that may be called
characteristics of the scientific method.
