Nope. They keep the theory the way it is. No one changes it. Usually, when scientist have tested the theory and find out something new, they create a new theory instead of changing the first one.

What is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over again?

A scientific theory is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and still seems to be valid. These theories are tested by using the scientific method.


When is scientific theories formed?

When a scientific idea has been tested many times


Why are theories modified but rarely discarded?

Most probably because the original theories are based on a certain amount of truth. Now a days, theories are not accepted until there is a significant amount of evidence to back it up. If there should be new evidence that states otherwise, then the theory will be modified. Of course, this is not a black and white situation. Not all theories have been "modified." Some have been completely discarded when solid facts have proved otherwise. For example, the Flat Earth Theory and the theory that the Earth is the centre of the universe.


What does modified on a shotgun mean?

Means that it has been changed in some way from the regular version.


Why don't all hypothesis become theories?

A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.

What will not change law theory hypothesis experiment hypothesis method?

If I understand the question correctly, ALL of them can change...In principal. That is, a scientific law could be proved false, though it is the most tested of theories and least likely to be changed. That is the beauty of science. Nothing is beyond question. Let's review a layman definition of these terms: Hypothesis --> Reasonable, but not fully tested, guess to answer a question. Theory --> A fully tested hypothesis that's been checked by others to a question. Law --> A theory that's been around a while that no one can find fault with. Experiment --> Logical process to test a hypothesis...They are changed ALL the time.


Scientific laws and theories cannot change?

Laws can only be changed if enough evidence has been given to disprove the law and place another law in its place. Theories change all the time. Theories are basically a question that scientist try to answer. Theories are just an idea that scientists give as an explanation to a question but they are not sure yet


What is one way scientific theories and scientific laws are similar?

A theory that has been tested, verified and universally accepted as being true can be called a law.


What is the only number that cannot be changed into a palindrome?

196 is the only number that has been tested that cannot be turned into a palindrome


What is the difference between laws and theories?

Laws describe observed phenomena and relationships in nature, while theories explain why those phenomena occur based on tested hypotheses and evidence. Laws are more descriptive and specific, while theories are broader and provide a framework for understanding natural phenomena.


What happens After a hypothesis has been tested extensively can it become what?

After a hypothesis has been tested extensively and consistently supported by evidence, it can become a theory. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that incorporates facts, laws, and tested hypotheses. However, theories remain open to further testing and refinement as new evidence emerges.
