Principle of converging evidence:
Give this one a try later!
When multiple different research studies are done on one subject to get to
one conclusion that is generally accepted by the scientific community. You
can put those findings from multiple different researches together and use
that data as one.
Since there are many competing views in science, converging evidence is
when many of those competing views are ruled out. While you cannot 100%
rule out all other evidence, if you keep repeating an experiment and
coming to the same conclusion that mostly rules out the competing
theories, you have converging evidence.
You must also research the flaws of the experiment to see how much it
impacts the findings.
