Explain the Four Essential Rules for an Explanation to be Considered Scientific

---

Rule #1:

The interpretration has to be a simple idea that doesn't include anything unnecessary, but has a maximum number of observations, for example, gravity on earth. we can see that it always makes things fall back to the earth always, unless there is a different force being applied.

Rule #2:

The interpretation has to be logically consistent, or cannot confict with a well- established body of principle.

Rule #3: The interpretation must be tested one or more times before it can be accepted as useful and reasonably certain, or else it would be considered an assumption, or ""truth" without proof".

Rule #4:

No matter how thorough an interpretation or explanation is, it can never cover everything, because there will always be at least one, if not more, exceptions or flaws in it.
