Not at all. Inductive method is proposing new laws based on (lots of) empirical evidence. If you always see B after A, then you might propose a law that A causes B. Conversely, Einstein was arguing that in modern theoretical science, principles come first, only to be tested against experiment much later by working out specific experiments to test the theory. BTW - with deep learning, AI is back in the inductive method phase :). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow [email protected] Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
