Experiment
An experiment was a scientific test to verify or find a result.

In 2254, Captain Christopher Pike and Vina were specimens in an experiment run by the Talosians. The purpose of the experiment was to see if Humans could meet the needs of the Talosians as a captive population reclaiming the surface of Talos IV. The result of the experiment proved that, while Humans had a high adaptability, they were too dangerous and violent for the Talosians as death was preferred over captivity, even if it was pleasant and benevolent.

The science project required from the contestant either an experiment or a model to participate. ()
