Do scientific experiments have limited applications?

scientific experiments has no limit.because the what man has discovered till now is very very small area.still a lot has to be discovered.until then experiments wont stop

I would refine the problem some more first.\nResearching "the impact of objects on wood" is a little vague.  What type of objects?  What do you mean by "impact" in a scientifically testable way?  What type of wood (not just "oak" or "pine", but wooden boards?  wooden chairs?).\n\nThink of what your controls for the experiment will be, what will be your variables, how will you test, ...\nFollow the scientific method.

No not really, but you do have a point... at least I think you do, I kinda only skimmed the question; find it hard to take bender seriously...\nI think you can go back before that.\nExperimental physics (and the scientific method) was founded on two axioms that many choose to ignore.\n1) observability: if you can't observe it, then you can't perform an experiment on it. Kinda obvious that one.\n2) repeatability: e.g. I punch Kostya Tzu, he says ow, why'd you do that. The next couple of times yield similar results. I begin to formulate a hypothesis linking the word ow with punching. I punch him again he ducks out of the way and... where am I? I could swear I was standing up a moment ago. You can't experiment on the behaviour of people as there is no hard and fast rules linking cause and effect. Science is restricted to investigate only those things that do have such a link (There is such a thing as behavioural science but it is not actually scientific).\nMathematicians also work with limits to their knowledge. Some spend decades trying to prove that you can't prove whether a certain statement is provable. I don't know what this would be - The quest for absolute uncertainty?\nAnyway there are limits to understanding that are beyond us mortal beings but just because the total amount of knowledge out there up for grabs is limited does not mean it's necessarily finite (There are many different kinds of infinity, an infinite amount of them in fact). There's a lot to discover either way. Sometimes you do get the scientific megalomaniac who's after "Asolute" knowledge but generally most of us are just along for the ride; fascinated by the way things have been put together.

well there is not one piece of evidence scientifically that it will do anything.  They are tinkering with something that most likely prove worthless.

The failures really shouldn't be looked at as failing.  In science you have a question, then you make a hypothesis and try to answer, when you do the experiment and it comes out negative you have eliminated a possibility and now you are one step closer to the answer.  A lot of answeres in science are discovered through a failed experiment.

Not yet - that's what scientists are trying to determine.....

There are several uses for this.  Generally for chemistry students the effort teaches them how the measurements are made, good laboratory techniques, and hopefully, some insight into chemistry and the physical sciences.  It doesn't always work, but it makes a good experiment. \n\nFor those who are in the business of using various substances, it is very important to know what their physical properties are, and how they relate to the physical properties of other substances.  Your air conditioner was designed around those measurements, as was your car, paint, furnace, and just about everything that was manufactured around you.  \n\nWhile nature obviously doesn't carefully record properties in a lab book, they are important to how plants and animals work, how hard rocks are, how ice forms, etc.  Without understanding these properties, we can't understand nature or ourselves completely.

If there is no thoery to go with the study then you probably wont know what you are trying to test, or what the possible outcomes are. So if you don't know what outsomes are possible, then you may not be able to measure or even detect them.

Simple....experimental

The only way to really find out is by experiment. I mean, this is the science section, not the philosophy section. Go out and fight something.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

What type of experiment.  Is it an experiment to see how many people reply with stupid answers?  Is it an experiment to see just how many people reply?  Or is it an experiment to see who has the best answer?  Pick mine!

A failed experiment generally means (if the experiment was well designed) that your explanation for a phenomenon was wrong. People, including scientists, are naturally interested in explanations that might be right, so it is tougher to get negative results published - and I would argue researchers are less interested in writing them up. However, such results are actually valuable, and since few ideas are original, publishing negative results would probably save a lot of time and research money by preventing repeating an experiment in the future.\n\nOne solution, and this is often done, is to combine negative results with related experiments that have positive results. I've done this and it does help to tell a more complete story about a phenomenon, while making the publication of negative results more palatable.

In the domain of science answer to all questions are not there. Science does experiments and find out results. In the subject question experiment is not possible.

If you don't have more questions after an experiment than before, you didn't do the experiment correctly.  Every discovery opens new avenues of research.  So, the plethora of origin hypotheses is not strange.\n\nAs we learn more and more about our world and other worlds, we will gain more insight into our origin.  Eventually, we may learn enough to answer the question.  But it will not be in our lifetime, and probably not this mellinium.  We have made only the smallest step toward that answer.  And so, there is not enough information to discount any origin hypothesis (except the one in which I created the universe :) ).

That's a perfectly reasonable experiment.  It addresses issues of solubility and phase equilibria.  As long as the project is done in a logical manner (i.e. following the scientific method), it should be a good project.
