  2. Orgel diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgel_diagram

    Orgel diagrams will, however, show the number of spin allowed transitions, along with their respective symmetry designations. In an Orgel diagram, the parent term (P, D, or F) in the presence of no ligand field is located in the center of the diagram, with the terms due to that electronic configuration in a ligand field at each side.

  3. Research question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_question

    When the research is complete and the researcher knows the (probable) answer to the research question, writing up can begin (as distinct from writing notes, which is a process that goes on through a research project). In term papers, the answer to the question is normally given in summary in the introduction in the form of a thesis statement.

  4. Strong inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_inference

    In philosophy of science, strong inference is a model of scientific inquiry that emphasizes the need for alternative hypotheses, rather than a single hypothesis to avoid confirmation bias. The term "strong inference" was coined by John R. Platt , [ 1 ] a biophysicist at the University of Chicago .

  5. Research design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_design

    A strong research design yields valid answers to research questions while weak designs yield unreliable, imprecise or irrelevant answers. [1] Incorporated in the design of a research study will depend on the standpoint of the researcher over their beliefs in the nature of knowledge (see epistemology) and reality (see ontology), often shaped by ...

  6. Hierarchy problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem

    In current particle physics, the differences between some parameters are much larger than this, so the question is even more noteworthy. One answer given by philosophers is the anthropic principle. If the universe came to exist by chance, and perhaps vast numbers of other universes exist or have existed, then life capable of physics experiments ...

  7. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    The strong interaction, or strong nuclear force, is the most complicated interaction, mainly because of the way it varies with distance. The nuclear force is powerfully attractive between nucleons at distances of about 1 femtometre (fm, or 10 −15 metres), but it rapidly decreases to insignificance at distances beyond about 2.5 fm. At ...

  8. Anthropic principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

    The strong principle then becomes an example of a selection effect, exactly analogous to the weak principle. Postulating a multiverse is certainly a radical step, but taking it could provide at least a partial answer to a question seemingly out of the reach of normal science: "Why do the fundamental laws of physics take the particular form we ...

  9. Argument from analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_analogy

    Analogy blindness leads to the rejection of analogies based on surface-level differences, ignoring deeper structural or thematic parallels. [4] This can limit understanding and hinder the meaningful exploration of ideas. Ben Kling gave the example of analogy blindness in the case of comparison between a volcano and a geyser. [4]
