This is not a public reflection, as your peers will not see it$.$ It is a short essay based on examples and reflection on these examples. We talked about how evidence interacts with theories. You provide in this assessment a case that contains:

$1$ Two theories $T_1$ and $T_2$ that are competing for explaining and predicting a phenomenon $P.$

$2$ One evidence $E$ that is related to phenomenon $P.$

I want to see a clear case in which evidence $E$ can be used to rule out one theory and confirm the other. Explain their connection as: confirmation, falsification, corroboration, or a weak connection. These are relations between $T_1,t_2$ and $E.$ You need to explicitly use the notation $T_1,T_2,E$ and $P.$

Use an example from science, not from technology or from every$-$day life!

Example $($DO NOT USE IT$!$ This is a simple example, not your example$)$

$T_1=$ "mask $M$ is not useful in preventing the spread of COVID$19"$

$T_2=$ "mask $M$ is useful in preventing the spread of COVID$19"$

$P=$ "spread of COVID$-19"$

$E=$ "a lab in X country or at U university showed that the droplets of sneeze are blocked by $M^{\text{'}\text{'}}$

Then you explain in a couple of lines what are the connections between $T_1,T_2$ and $E.$

Instructions and suggestions:

DO not use examples from slides or from readings.

In most cases I want to see two different theories $T_1$ and $T_2$

Extra credit: explain what is exactly the relation between P and E$.$

It is OK to document cases like this online. But do not simply copy$-$paste text from the Internet. Use your own words to discuss these theories and example
