In Physics, he asked by way of example why front teeth regularly grow sharp, and back teeth broad, in a fashion that is good for an animal. He claimed that we must go beyond just the interaction of particles, because it cannot simply be coincidence

Bacon had a clear understanding of the roles of what today we call basic and applied research. Although he saw the ultimate goal of science as material benefit, he believed that, paradoxically, focusing on slowly building sufficient experimental knowledge to develop general physical laws (“experiments of Light”), rather than trying to immediately solve specific practical problems (“experiments of Fruit”),

It was not until many years later that the concept of the controlled experiment (carefully changing only one potential causal factor and observing the result) was more rigorously distinguished from nonexperimental observation than in Bacon’s somewhat impressionistic “verified, weighed, and counted” description.

Bacon attempted to define a process of scientific experimentation and inference, but in this he failed; the detailed method he proposed has not been used by scientists in practice. He was never able to explain exactly how the induction of general physical laws from individual observations should work at an algorithmic or logical level.

This might seem like the kind of thing that only a philosopher with too much time on his hands could care about, and in fact, Hume was careful to ridicule the seemingly airy-fairy nature of his concern before his readers could do it for him.

The Problem of Induction can be restated usefully as the observation that there may always be hidden conditionals to any causal rule that is currently believed to be valid.
