Scientist use scientific methods to test the new theory. They also examine all the evidence to see if it supports the new theory. Scientist accept a new theory when many test and pieces of evidence support it.

∙ 9y agoObservations, measurements and evidence are the way in which scientific theories keep their validity. Outside pure mathematics, physical theories can not be proved, and they rely on being tested against the available evidence in the form of observations and measurements.
However, physical theories can be disproved if enough contrary evidence is found.
When a physical theory is found that matches observations over a long period, it gains validity. However, it is always possible that a new theory will be found that matches the observations better. In that case the old theory is discarded. It is not correct to say it was 'wrong', but the new theory is just better.

How are scientific evidence and scientific conclusions related?
Scientific conclusions are based on scientific evidence.
A system of ideas that explains many related observations and is supported by a large body of evidence is a?
law
How are Scientific evidence and an opinion related?
Opinions regarding any field of science may indeed lead to solid scientific evidence or facts. Examples Based on the fossilized remains found at Pompeii, it may become an educated opinion that there are more fossils to be discovered. Hence the opinion may become a scientific fact if more fossils are found. To my knowledge scientific evidence generally does not derive from an uneducated opinion. There are many scientific pieces of evidence that the pyramids in Egypt were built using advanced techniques still unknown to us. The opinion that there is a solution to the question of how the pyramids were built is supported by opinions derived from scientific observations.
Is a hypothesis firm as a theory?
After making careful observations,scientists construct a hypotesis and a scientific theory is a statement that supported by many scientific observations. so a theory is firm, because a scientific theory is an explanation of a broad range of related phenomena based on repeated testing of a hypothesis
What do both the theory of evolution and the theory of relativity have in common as scientific theories?
They are internally consistent, supported by many lines of converging evidence, tested and passed tests innumerable time over many years, make testable prediction and are very good explanations for a broad class of phenomenon. As scientific theories they have been around a long time and have been modified as new information was gather, but basically, they have stood the test of time very well.
What is A system of ideas that explains many related observations and is supported by a large a body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation?
The Correct answer is " Theory "
How is a scientific description and explanation related?
observations
How are scientific evidence and scientific conclusions related?
Scientific conclusions are based on scientific evidence.
What is one characteristic of a scientific theory?
There are many criteria for a scientific theory, it would kill me to list just one, so I'm goint to let you pick from the list. It should be testable. It should be able to be falsified. It's predictions must conform to the observations It should have been repeatedly tested
Reasons why psychology is related to science?
Psychology relies on empirical research methods to study human behavior and mental processes. It follows the scientific method by formulating research hypotheses, collecting data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence. The field is grounded in theories that are tested and refined through experimentation and observation, similar to other scientific disciplines.
How is your opinion and scientific evidence related?
My Answer:An opinion is an idea that may be formed from evidence!
A system of ideas that explains many related observations and is supported by a large body of evidence is a?
law
Why are hypothesis and theories related?
its because are made after lots of observations,experiments,trials,and conclusion only that theory is widely acceptable
What are the principles of good evidence?
Good evidence that is related to a crime scene has many factors. Evidence should have scientific proof that a person or persons committed the crime. If there is scientific evidence, it can be very hard to refute the evidence.
What rule of nature that sums up related observations and experimental results is a scientific?
Law! Thats what it is because i did a science report on scientific law!:)
Who was responsible for developing theories related to geometry during the Scientific Revolution?
Descartes was responsible for developing theories related to geometry during the Scientific Revolution. He had taken the most crucial steps in the development of mathematics by using formulas for physical representations during this time.
