Document Summary
Falsehood must be demonstrable by a test (observational or experimental) Claims extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Occam"s razor if two competing hypotheses explain a phenomenon equally well and make the exact same predictions, we should generally select the simpler one. Rule out rivals test results consistent with several hypotheses require additional research to rule them out. Correlation correlation does not equal causation. Null hypothesis (h0) specifies what should be observed when the hypothesis being tested isn"t correct. Controls check for factors (other than the one being tested) that might influence the experiment"s outcome. Carbon can bond to a variety of atoms, but most commonly to chon + ps in biological macromolecules. Biological macromolecules include a carbon skeleton that often contains single or. Co2 is the foundation of carbon construction on earth (autotroph photosynthesis) double bonds. The number of protons determines the element. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost (valence) shell.
