Hypothesis Vs. Theory

between these stages

The aim of the hypothesis vs theory comparison presented in this article is to clarify the difference between these two stages of scientific analysis. A glance through the article will completely clarify the difference between hypothesis and theory.

As a student of science and a rational human being, it’s your right to question everything and strive to find answers on your own through research. ‘Doubt’ is the most sacred thing for a scientist and a follower of the scientific method. This doubt keeps you on your toes when you feel like surrendering or believing in something at face value without adequate scientific research. As scientists, we constantly strive to create a coherent picture of the world, as we know it by piecing together one fact at a time, through theorizing and experimentation. Every experiment in science is aimed towards proving a hypothesis, which will validate it into a theory. In the following lines, I present a hypothesis vs theory comparison, which distinguishes the two concepts clearly.

Scientific Hypothesis Vs Theory Comparison

Scientific method is all about providing a causal explanation for every phenomena we observe in nature. When we see something happening around us, there is an inherent need to make sense of it. To come up with a rationale that explains any phenomenon in nature, you have to imagine and make a causal connection of things. Let us see when and how a rationale for a phenomenon qualifies to be called a hypothesis or a theory. To begin with, let us define the two concepts clearly.

How to Care for Your Kitten

your kitten

If you have a new kitten in the house, then you know there are some possessions in your cozy home that can pose as a definite threat to your new small animal. A kitten’s behavior can be compared to a small child. Just like children, kittens love to explore their surroundings and before you know it, your kitten is in every nook and cranny imaginable and potentially a compromising situation.

Daily Dangers

Household dangers may include furniture, toilets, electrical cords, windows, medicines and cleaners. Of course, there are windows and electrical cords in just about every room of your house.

Windows pose as major threat for sun-bathing kittens, as they may accidentally fall or escape through an open window. Make sure all of your windows have screens and are fastened securely. Electrical cords can easily be chewed on by kittens and ultimately cause a fatal electric shock. Prevent your kitten from electrocuting himself by wrapping cords up tightly and even hiding them inside runners that can be purchased at a hardware store.

like most

Just like most animals, your kitten may think the toilet is a popular watering hole. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Thirsty kittens may drown in open toilet bowls or even poisoned by an automatic toilet bowl cleanser. To prevent this, keep the toilet seat down at all times and be sure the whole family is on board.

Medicines and cleaners are a little easier to keep out of reach of your kitten. If your family is like most families, you have specific places where these materials are kept. Cleaning products and medications can cause digestive upset or even fatally poison kittens that accidentally lick, drink or eat them. Keep the caps of all your cleaning products and medications fastened tightly and stored in hard to reach places.

17 Nutrition and Weight Loss Tips from Gabby Reece

meals avoid

The way that the food world is set up it’s no wonder we are all reaching for too much of the wrong foods. There are days I stop and look around and think to myself “there is nothing to eat”.

Of course this is an exaggeration, but it does feel like you can get the ZAP no matter what food you eat; meaning, that ‘ZAP…wrong’ when you think you are eating healthy.

*How about this yummy protein bar? ZAP!

(Bars can have tons of sugar and ingredients you can’t pronounce)

*How about this frozen food meal that has limited calories? ZAP!

(Frozen meals often contain very little nutritional value and lack vitamins, minerals, and enzymes).

*How about this delicious low calorie drink that is “organic” and better than soda? Zap! (Drinks can contain 35+ grams of sugar that have the capacity to convert to calories in the body). Ow…didn’t even see that one coming.

It can be overwhelming especially if you are trying to do all of this with little time, high stress, demanding taste buds, and for a low price. Want to eat healthier and deal with a few extra pounds? Keep it simple and don’t get sucked into the nutritional black hole!

1. Drink water only.

2. If you love your coffee in the morning enjoy it and be mindful of all the “extras” that can add up the calories.

3. Eat half of what is on your dinner plate.

4. Avoid tons of processed foods (things that can live on the shelf or in a freezer for years and years).

5. Try to prepare your meals and avoid doing too much or any microwaving.

6. Unless you are on the road then stay away from food you can get in your car and out of a window. NO DRIVE THRU!

How Probiotics Benefit Vaginal Health

bacterial vaginosis

Studies have shown that a woman’s vagina contains many different kinds of bacteria, and these forms of bacteria make up what is called vaginal flora. When the vaginal flora is in balance the vagina is considered healthy; however, many external factors cause an imbalance in this flora, leading to vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis.

The leading external factors that change this normal vaginal flora are puberty, wearing synthetic pantyhose, and having unprotected sex.

Other principal factors such as douching and feminine products have been known to flush out normal bacteria and the protective mucus lining in the vagina, resulting in irritation and bacteria growth.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis:

Vaginal discharge with an unpleasant “fishy” odor

When urinating, a burning sensation

Vaginal itching and burning

Naturally treating bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis can become very embarrassing for some women due to the symptoms it presents, but luckily there are some natural ways to combat it. Eating foods like plain yogurt, which contains lactobacillus acidophilus, or orally taking a probiotic pill can help with vaginal itching and burning. Orally taking lactobacillus acidophilus in pill form has also been used as a treatment for vaginal irritation.

Preventing bacterial vaginosis

Some women find that they continually contract bacterial vaginosis. Here are some hygiene suggestions for good vaginal health that may help:

Avoid spreading bacteria from the rectum to the vagina by wiping from front to back after bowel movements
