Do research about new hypothesis that has replaced an older explanation of something in the natural world

Biology

Gre4nikov [31]2 years ago

I believe that what is meant with the phrase "older explanation" is none other that superstition. Therefore, I will give you one superstitious belief which is now explained by science.

In Southeast Asia, people used to believe that St. Elmo's fire appears in remote areas because a bloody battle occured in that place leaving disembodied souls of the dead wandering there in the night and even in sunshine!

For generations, many people believed that this is a fact and some even say that these apparitions are diabolical or demonic in nature. So often, caution is advised to people whenever a ball of fire appears out in the open. 

However, recent breakthroughs in the 21st century helped scientists to explain this mysterious phenomena. They found out that St. Elmo's fire is actually plasma, nothing special. Now, plasma is considered one of the states of matter! But mind you, it still does not explain why St. Elmo's fire seems to have a mind of its own!

Which question is testable?
Nuetrik [128]

The correct answer is: A. How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?

While options B, C & D are not impossible to test, option A is the only question that can be tested using quantitative methods, such as statistical analysis. The question in option A states: "How does changing the amount of water affect the growth of corn?". This question is easily testable using scientific investigation, because controlled or measured amounts of water can be added to corn, and the consequent growth rate of corn can be easily measured and recorded. However, the questions in options B, C & D cannot be precisely measured using quantitative tools, since they aim to measure qualitative (subjective) factors, such as: ethics, happiness and disappointment.
