First a word on inductive reasoning, which are among the types of reasoning in science (but not the only). Induction is the process of moving the General or specific to form a conclusion about the nature of the universe from a limited set of comments. A classic example is the fact that, until now always found that the Sun every day rises in the East. Therefore, we can deduce that the Sun is always every day rises in the East.
