=====================================================

That smells like Fish.

Simply: no. It is a method of ascertaining provisional understandings
of the universe or parts and or aspects thereof. It functions through a
process of testability and a repeatability of the test. Also, a certain
restriction on information is crucial (Ockham's Razor). It's nice to
have a falsifiability as well (per Popper). Sometimes that is not
possible, especially in terms of universal tests (define: universe.
Give three examples).

It isn't a "thing" - it's a way of working and understanding "things".
