Question

What do you think a scientist should do if they discover an interesting pattern in the world that no one else has described, but they cannot explain what is causing the pattern?

Answer 1

Answer:

The scientist should study the pattern extensively and try as much as possible to be able to describe and predict some of the features of the pattern. He then should make this known to the science world to encourage research into this new field of study.

Explanation:

Discovery is the dream of all scientist. Science is the probe of nature in order to seek and be able to explain and predict a pattern in nature. Discovering a pattern either by probe or by mere coincidence triggers an extensive research and experimentation in this new field. A scientist therefore should make a new discovery know as this not only furthers the advancement of knowledge, but also puts down his own name in history and also lots of immediate recognition.
