How can a scientific theory be proven?
A scientific theory can never be "proven". It can only be "Disproved. Science is a process of elimination. We eliminate those theories which are not in agreement with current experimental evidence. But, it is nearly unreasonable to claim to have produced a theory which is in perfect agreement with every scientific discovery (at least for now). Even the most accurate scientific theories in the 21st century have uncertainties, most notably General Relativity and Quantum mechanics. These theories, for example, aim to describe the same phenomena (or equivalent mechanical phenomena) in two separate regimes. While many people hold high levels of confidence in both theories, the two have been found to be irreconcilable. It has, in fact, been proposed that the only way this problem can be overcome is if one (or both) of these theories is modified or abandoned. But, this is only possible if one (or both) of these theories is "disproved" . This is not necessarily a foreign thought. A lot of evidence, both experimental and observational, already seem to disagree with these theories. Unfortunately, abandoning one theory means having to develop a new and better theory. This has proven to be a huge task, and many scientists are preferring to either reform or modify the current theories.
What is a prediction that can be proved or disproved by experiments?
A hypothesis
How did Benjamin Thompson's experiment disprove the caloric theory?
he never disproved it it it was only improved
Has the law of conservation of energy been disproved?
No. It is one of the most firmly established laws of physics.
Why don't theories become law?
Theories never become laws. Theories explain facts and scientific observations; laws describe the behavior of an object in nature. A scientific law explains what will happen, but it doesn't explain why. Theories explain why.
How does facts help scientist?
Scientists make theories or equations that are not proved. Facts prove or disprove the theories or the equations. Note: -Some theories or equations can't be proved or disproved by facts so they are proved or disproved by the majority of scientists.
Can a theory ever be disproved If so what happens to the original theory?
Certainly. Many theories are disproved. A disproved theory will either be reworked based on the information obtained while disproving it or will be discarded.
How did Albert Einstein invent things?
he prepared theories and negative and positive plans and either proved or disproved them.
What is the role of theories in research?
Theory is used used to craft the null hypothesis, which is either proved or disproved by the research itself
Which scientist made highly accurate measurements that first disproved the theories of Ptolemy and Copernicus?
The scientist that made highly accurate measurements that first disapproved the theories of Ptolmy and Copernicus was called Brahe.
Why is it important to develop a scientific hypothesis that is testable?
It is important to be able to test the hypothesis because testing your hypothesis is how you prove or disprove your theories. If it is disproved then you can change your hypothesis.
Can scientific theories change?
Yes, they can, if new evidence is discovered to support a change in the theory. Physical theories are not provable in the sense of mathematical theorems. They depend on evidence, and they can be disproved if enough contrary evidence comes up.
What is one of Dalton's theories that has been disproved?
Dalton theorized that an atom was a tiny solid sphere. Today we know that atoms are not solid, in fact are mostly open space.
Who developed a stronger telescope and was able to prove that Ptolemy's theories about the moon were wrong?
Galileo Galilei constructed telescopes to conduct his observations. He also disproved the Ptolemaic model.
What is a sicentific theory?
A scientific theory provides an explanation of observed natural phenomena and predictions that can be tested by further experiments. These f]serve as the framework for organizing scientific knowldege. Theories are not proven or facts, these are just predictions and possible explanations. Theories can never be completey true, they can only be disproved.
Who disproved geocentric theory?
Claudius Ptolemy disproved geocentric theory.
Are all theories always completely accepted or completely rejected?
Fact supported theories and not guesses, but reliable accounts of the real world. Most theories accepted by scientists have been repeatedly tested by experiments and thus can be used to make predictions, which are then most likely to be true
