A scientist is researching the solar system. How can the scientist best add to existing empirical evidence about the solar system? a. The scientist can debate the research with other scientists. b. The scientist can develop a new law regarding the solar system. c. The scientist can make and record observations. d. The scientist can write an opinion column about the researc

The correct option is;

c. The scientist can make and record observations

Explanation:

Empirical evidence are evidences obtained by direct observation, sensual perception or direct measurement. It is the processed and useful data gathered and stored in a material form or documented to provide record of the measurement.

With the aid of empirical evidence, it is possible for researchers to find answers to question regarding topics that can vastly impact every day life.

With empirical evidence, it is possible to determine the effects of treatment in a study such as the invention of working car safety devices such as seat belts and airbags.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
