We might even see and touch the object, but there is always the possibility that we might be wrong about what it is. Nothing is guaranteed. The black box experiment did a good job of showing us more about the steps in the scientific method regarding hypotheses. We had to formulate four hypotheses and then say whether we disproved one. This really led us to test our hypotheses to the best of our abilities with the limitations imposed on us by the box. Because of the scientific method, every scientist who performed the experiment had the same working structure. Even if it were different information, it would be easily interpreted and remade by anyone. This is what makes the scientific method so
