It has an average fan rating of 4.2 5 on the official Star Trek website as of September, 2009. The episode premise is that of a group of cloaked or hidden aliens performing scientific experiments on the Voyager crew, and the effect the experiments have on the various crew members. The show explores this from a third party perspective, and views the events in a manner similar to the medical experiments humans perform on lab rats or other animals.

A scientific technique is any systematic Scientificmethodmethod to obtain information of a science scientific nature or to obtain a desired material or Product business product . Scientific techniques can be divided in many different groups , e.g. Preparative techniques Synthesis techniques, e.g. the use of Grignard reagents in organic chemistry Growth techniques, e.g. crystal growth or cell culture s in biology Purification techniques e.g. List of purification methods in chemistry those in chemistry Measurement techniques Analysis techniques, e.g. ones that reveal atomic or molecular composition. Characterization techniques, e.g. ones that measure a certain property of a material. Imaging techniques, e.g. microscopy Instruments In many cases these methods have evolved into instrumental techniques that require expensive equipment. This is particularly true in sciences like physics , chemistry , and astronomy . It is customary to abbreviate the names of techniques into acronyms, although this does not hold for all of them. Particularly the advent of the computer has led to a true proliferation in the number of techniques to the point that few scientists still have a good overview over all that is available.

Freedom Scientific freedom is the idea of freedom in the sense of Freedom of thought and Freedom of the press applied to natural science, in particular the practices of scientific research and discourse, mainly by publication. The ideal is promoted by many organizations of scientists, and is the subject of article 15 3 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights . One classic defence of the idea is in Michael Polanyi s book, Personal Knowledge 1958 . Polanyi criticized the common view that the scientificmethod is purely objective and generates objective knowledge. Polanyi cast this view as a misunderstanding of the scientificmethod and of the nature of scientific inquiry, generally. He argued that scientists do and must follow personal passions in appraising facts and in determining which scientific questions to investigate. He concluded that a structure of liberty is essential for the advancement of science that the freedom to pursue science for its own sake is a prerequisite for the production of knowledge through peer review and the scientificmethod . ref cite book author Michael Polanyi title Personal Knowledge date 1958 isbn 0773491503 ref Polanyi subsequently co founded the Society for Freedom in Science . ref cite journal doi 10.1007 BF01102181 author William McGucken date 1978 title On Freedom and Planning in Science The Society for Freedom in Science 1940&ndash 1946 journal Minerva disambiguation Minerva volume 16 issue 1 pages 42&ndash 72 ... and associations AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility American Association for the Advancement ...

As well, scientific fact factual and well confirmed statements like Mercury is liquid at standard temperature and pressure are considered to be too specific to qualify as scientific laws.

Examples of enterprising scientific organizations Each of the organizations listed below, have the ability to conduct scientific research on an extended basis, involving multiple researchers over an extended time. Generally, the research is funded not only for the science itself, but for some application which shows promise for the enterprise. But the researchers, if left to their own choices, will tend to follow their research interest, which is essential for the long term health of their chosen field.

Unreferenced date May 2010 file sincsci.jpg thumb Sinclair Scientific calculator photographed circa 1974 The Sinclair Scientific calculator was a 12 function, pocket sized calculator, selling for about 100 in the USA and around 45 in the UK. The Sinclair Scientific first appeared in a case derived from that of the Sinclair Cambridge , but it was not part of the same range. At the time it was launched, in August 1975, it was a highly unusual calculator. It displays only in scientific notation 5 digit mantissa, 2 digit exponent. Because of the way its processor a custom chip from Texas Instruments is designed, it relies on reverse Polish notation. This unusual method of mathematical problem solving meant that, for instance, to add 2 and 4, one had to enter 2, then 4, then the symbol. There was no key. The Scientific Programmable was an advanced version launched in 1977, again using reverse Polish notation. It could handle programs of up to 24 steps and cost 29.95.It used four AAA batteries. The Scientific Programmable Mark 2 was powered either by a Nine volt battery 9V battery or a mains adaptor and cost 17.22. It came with twelve sample programs, with another 294 contained in an additional four volume library which could be bought for 4.95. Each volume was dedicated to a different application finance and statistics, mathematics, physics and engineering, and electronics. It also used Reverse Polish notation RPN . An ingenious aspect of the design which showed Sinclair s inventiveness was that the machine made use of what was originally a 4 function calculator chip. Sinclair realised that by using Reverse Polish notation RPN and allowing a reduced precision of 4 or 5 significant figures displayed in scientific notation, the algorithms for scientific functions could be redesigned and compacted to fit in the same programmable space on the chip. This allowed Sinclair to adapt the relatively low cost processor and produce an electronic slide rule that fitted easily in a shirt ... more details

Scientific formalism is a broad term for a family of approaches to the presentation of science . It is viewed as an important part of the scientificmethod , especially in the physical sciences . Levels of formalism There are multiple levels of scientific formalism possible. At the lowest level, scientific formalism deals with the symbolic manner in which the information is presented. To achieve formalism in a scientific theory at this level, one starts with a well defined set of axioms , and from these follows a formal system . However, at a higher level, scientific formalism also involves consideration of the axioms themselves. These can be viewed as questions of ontology . For example, one can, at the lower level of formalism, define a property philosophy property called existence . However, at the higher level, the question of whether an electron exists in the same sense that a bacterium exists still needs to be resolved. Some actual formal theories on fact s have been proposed. ref http plato.stanford.edu entries facts formal theories.html ref In modern physics The scientific climate of the twentieth century revived these questions. From about the time of Isaac Newton to that of James Clerk Maxwell they had been dormant, in the sense that the physical sciences could rely on the status of the real number s as a description of the Continuum theory continuum , and an agnostic view of atom s and their structure. Quantum mechanics , the dominant physical theory after about 1925, was formulated in a way which raised questions of both types. In the Newtonian framework there was indeed a degree of comfort in the answers one could give. Consider for example the question of whether the Earth really goes round the Sun .
