Scientific Hypotheses – Truth or Error? DENNIS KLOCEK If one were to approach a professional scientist and challenge the hypothetical method as a flawed premise for good science, one would surely be met with vigorous protest. And, indeed, the protest would be well founded, because the hypothetical method is a well-proven cornerstone of scientific work. Scientists who are challenged on this point are quick to point out the effectiveness of finding a hypothesis and then setting about trying to prove or disprove it on the basis of experiment. In the realm of pragmatic physical science this is a most effective strategy for guiding research. However, if one challenges the method on the basis of its creative potential, it soon becomes obvious that even the creative researcher has no real insight into the pre-hypothesis mindset but that most scientific research focuses on the post-hypothesis methodologies. In other words, how a researcher actually goes about forming a hypothesis is of less interest than the subsequent experimental strategy brought into motion by the emergence of the hypothetical concept. Methods for giving birth to scientific ideas range from the realm of happy accident (many) to the eccentric (hot baths, kite flying, high-speed driving) to the arcane (ouija boards, UFOs). In such a diversified field of possible sources of inspiration it may be advantageous to first try to characterize the differences between creative thinking and personal fantasy. Creative thinking often eludes the grasp of the intellectually-fixed abstract thinker. It is, however, a definite type of thinking, a cognitional state. One way to look at the fundamental difference between creativity and fantasy is that creative thinking is capable of improvisation, and fantasy is a form of cognitional stagnation. There is an obsessive rhythm that permeates the experience of personal fantasy. As thinkers, fantasy does not leave us free to pursue concepts in a fluid manner. Goethe recognized this aberration by making a distinction between concept and idea. In Goethe’s view the formation of concepts was primarily the function of the intellect. In forming a concept the intellect was called upon to take a sense impression into a higher cognitive state in which the archetypal laws that are at work behind each phenomenon are touched by 103
