Urgent Help Needed before Monday 22nd (1 Viewer)

I have completed most of my reasearch on Pasteur and Koch but I am having trouble on the following question.

Analyse the ways in which P&K theories and experiments on infectious diseases were validated.

For Pasteur I found information on Joseph Lister who used Pasteurs germ theory of disesae as an impetus to create the first antiseptic that is used in modern day hospitals and in surgery.

For Koch I managed to locate a website [www.mnwelldir.org/docs/cancer1/rife.htm] on a scientist named Roy Rife who discovered through Kochs Theorem (postulates) a virus that caused cancer.

Is this information relevant to the above question. If anyone has any useful information please post it up, its is of much help to me and I appreciate your kindness.

Thankyou in advance.:wave:

just a note: that the germ theory of disease actually wasn't proposed by pasteur: pasteur's experiments proved the germ theory of disease.

love wikipedia, resources here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_theory_of_disease

Analyse the ways in which P&K theories and experiments on infectious diseases were validated.

Isn't the validation of an experiment related to its experimental method such as how accurate were the results, was there repetition? Was their a control? etc

 

[lilsxcwog89]

Repitition relates to accuracy not vaildity. Validity is how well did their experiments answer their aim.

That statement is just wrong.
Repetition does not relate to accuracy.

 

[lilsxcwog89]

then what does it relate to. explain yourself before you assert something.

 

[lilsxcwog89]

reliability is what i meant
