PSA Script

FADE IN:

INT. DOUGLAS’ HOUSE – TV ROOM

DOUGLAS: Hmph. These are all theories. Why should I care about all this theorizin’

DI: actually, that’s not what “theory” means in this case

FROM GLASS ON DINING TABLE

DOUGLAS: What?

BACK TO TV ROOM

DI: Time to learn the scientific method. First you formulate a testable hypothesis. Then you make a testable prediction. Then carry out the experiment. When the data confirms the experiment then you can have a theory.

DOUGLAS: So it’s the hypothesis that’s more like guessin’

DI: And a scientific [emphasis] theory is often only called that when the experiment has been reproduced multiple times and peer reviewed.

DOUGLAS: So it’s not just one person either

DI: Right! Happy to explain anytime![EVAPORATES AWAY]
