How would you explain the scientific method to a friend who’s never heard of it?

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. ... A process like the scientific method that involves such backing up and repeating is called an iterative process.

the supermassive black hole is in the middle of the galaxy.

the relative atomic mass of an element is the mass of one atom of that element, relative to 1/12th of the mass of a  1212c atom. to convert to an absolute mass in kg, it is necessary to multiply by  1.661×10−271.661×10−27.

the relative atomic mass is roughly equal to the number of neutrons, plus the number of protons, in the nucleus of the atom.

for elements with more than one stable isotope (different types of nucleus with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons), the quoted mass is usually the average mass, weighted by the relative abundance of the different isotopes.
