The scientific method isn't about trying to prove or disprove theories from the start. Instead, it's a process of forming hypotheses, testing them through experiments, gathering evidence, and refining those hypotheses based on the results. Experiments aim to observe and measure outcomes without bias, letting the evidence support or challenge the theory. Some theories, like general relativity, remain supported by evidence but not definitively "proven" or "disproven" because science is always open to new data that could refine or reshape our understanding.
