是什么使一个普通人成为科学家？他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗？答案是否定的。不是
而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么用力对因为科学家使用的工具，
一名木匠来说很 重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查，发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而，科学家比这更进一步，他 必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案，并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自 己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点。

科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。他必须在
条件
允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功。如果条件不同， 科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的。这是关于调查研究在科学研 究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通 过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计 算，再进行调查研究的测试。
