The scientific method | Observation to Iteration

The scientific method is a systematic approach used by scientists to investigate natural phenomena, acquire knowledge, and test hypotheses through empirical observation and experimentation. This method emphasizes objectivity, reproducibility, and the use of evidence to support or refute hypotheses.

The scientific literature is devoid of objectivity, reproducibility, and evidence. The literature is polluted with pseudoscientific studies, as the scientific method is rarely used properly, as there is too much of an emphasis on empiricism. The scientific method is slowly getting away from true empiricism as well, but that is a topic for another video.

Note:
When it comes to iteration, I talked mostly about the creation of a good paper. The true purpose of the paper, especially the methods, is to allow for the reproduction of the study. Scientific papers need to be reproduced. Reproducibility is the cornerstone of science. Obviously were in a reproducibility crisis, where most experiments can not reproduce results, indicating how invalid the literature is.
