"At the train station, he met Rebecca Gladstone, right, a postdoc at the Sanger Institute, and Elizabeth Beales, left, who is associated with the Babraham research campus. [...] They said they are marching to get people excited about science. Gladstone's shirt offers a quick lesson in the scientific method." http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/...-live-coverage

This scientific method is inductive (empirical) - irrelevant to theoretical physics. In physics the method should be DEDUCTION:

CHOOSE AXIOMS (POSTULATES)
DEDUCE VALIDLY
CHECK FOR CONSISTENCY
TEST EXPERIMENTALLY

Einstein's special relativity was deductive (even though a false postulate and an invalid argument spoiled it from the very beginning) but his general relativity was an empirical concoction (not even wrong).
