520    Historically, the scientific method has been said to 
       require proposing a theory, making a prediction of 
       something not already known, testing the prediction, and 
       giving up the theory (or substantially changing it) if it 
       fails the test. A theory that leads to several successful 
       predictions is more likely to be accepted than one that 
       only explains what is already known but not understood. 
       This process is widely treated as the conventional method 
       of achieving scientific progress, and was used throughout 
       the twentieth century as the standard route to discovery 
       and experimentation. But does science.
