Question

when the results support an existing theory
when the results support an existing law
when the results do not match the experimenter’s predictions

Answer 1

when the results do not match the experimenter’s predictions

Unexpected or anomalous results challenge existing ideas and prompt new hypotheses and follow-up experiments to verify, explain, or refine the theory.
