      Great question!

      So researchers normally work as part of a team, they’ll all be working on a similar topic but with their own part of it. As they do experiments they’ll answer questions but that’ll all raise more questions so other people will then research that.

      So it’s a bit like a massive story and new researchers come in to continue the story. Scientists always work on evidence and wouldn’t just choose something random to research there’s always some evidence pointing that it’s a good place to look at.
