The Scientific Method is the systematic method of analysis of phenomena, devised to permit the study of repeatable, thus reliable, knowledge. This category deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of the scientific method. We will not admit sites presenting actual discoveries, or their practical and commercial applications. These sites will be automatically rejected.
