13 Getting Answers: Start with a question. For example: How? Why? When? Where? Etc? How do we get answers? Strong Inference presents one method (article on webpage)

19 H. pylori is the cause of 80% of peptic ulcers
20 The obvious or accepted answer was not the correct answer... Without alternative ideas, the answer would not have been found.
21 Strong Inference Knowledge is gained by eliminating incorrect ideas. Disproof is more reliable than proof.
22 Where does the matter come from for plants to grow? Matter can not normally be created or destroyed, only moved from one place to another.
23 Aristotle (~2,300 y.a.): Plants gain mass by taking it from the soil. Supporting Evidence: Plants need soil to grow. If roots are removed, plants die. After several years of cultivation, soil loses its ability to support plant growth.
24 Johann Baptista van Helmont did a simple experiment in the early 1600 s
25 What is the major difference between these two approaches to science? Johann Baptista van Helmont Aristotle (~2,300 y.a.): Plants gain mass by taking it in 1600 s from the soil Supporting Evidence: Plants need soil to grow. If roots are removed, plants die. After several years of cultivation, soil loses its ability to support plant growth.
26 The Rules of Strong Inference: Strong Inference is a method for looking at scientific problems by trying to disprove hypotheses and accepting the hypotheses that can not be disproved. Using Strong Inference entails following these rules (from an article by John Platt, 1964): 1. Devise multiple hypotheses.
