This is a study of four topics of central importance to the epsitemology of science. You ask what makes something a scientific explanation, what is required for observations to support (confirm) scientific theories, whether predictive success is a better indication of the truth of a theory than post hoc accommodation, and whether simplicity is a guide to truth.
