Most textbooks teach the scientific method as a boring, 6-step recipe. In reality, it's a high-stakes detective game of connecting dots and killing bad ideas. In this video, we clear up the confusion between hypothesis and theory once and for all. We dive into the fundamental steps of scientific inquiry and understand how hypotheses, theories, and experiments shape our understanding of the world around us.
