What makes a person a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from
those of others? The answer is NO. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses the tools that make
difference. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will
probably agree that knowing how to investigate and how to discover information is important to anyone. The
scientist goes one step further than that; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and
that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions
into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works
under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions
are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the
conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the
theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later
tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct.
