Why is Einstein's theory of relativity only a theory?
The word "theory" in science doesn't mean a guess. It means an idea that has been very well confirmed and has stood the test of time. The same applies to biological evolution, which has stood the test of time even longer than relativity.
Why did arthur eddington prove alberts Einstein theory of relativity?
Like all good scientists, Eddington was interested in advancing knowledge through experimentation. General relativity made very specific predictions about what would be observed under certain conditions, and Eddington was one of many people who wanted to test whether these observations were true. When they turned out to be very close to what Einstein predicted, Eddington achieved what all good scientists do -- experimental test of a hypothesis.
Who discovered wavelength?
In the 1920s Jacobb Johnson Elson discovered that by using einsteins theory of reletivaty Jacob was able to depiece the light into its colour spectrum and wave length and therefore Jacob's theory of the wavelength was established. He is also did the very first motorcycle burnout in North America refrence: page 25 OG physics test yourself textbook, Steven Robberston & Semaj olichanopolopoulos
Characteristics of a theory?
1- Self-consistencyThere should be no contradictions between various parts of the theory.2- Consistency with experimental and observational evidenceSuccessful confrontation with valid data is fundamental.3- Testability/FalsifiabilityAn experiment can be devised to test the theory's predictions. A possible outcome of the test is failure.4- Consistency with other valid theoriesThe new theory must agree with pre-existing accepted other theories, or explain (in a satisfactory manner) why the latter should be modified or rejected.5- AdaptabilityThe theory's framework must be able to accommodate new data and be improved upon, if necessary.6- ParsimonyThere are no unnecessary assumption or superfluous hypothesis.
How come scientists can't test the theory on which the particle model is based?
The particles of all substances are always moving, so we can only measure the average speed of them, which is called temperature. Also, particles are very small, and they are hard to see and measure.
Scientists test a hypothesis by making?
A theory

What is an idea that is repeatedly supported by test results in science?
Einstein's theory of relativity is continuously tested by GPS satellites. If relativity weren't true the system wouldn't work.
How do experiments help scientist learn about the world?
experiments test the scientist theory

Why scientists accepted daltons atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosopher?
the Greek Philosophers did not test their theory.
What do scientists do after they experiment and collect the data?
Grab a burger! xD. Make observations and test them out and then create a theory
What are College graduates are more likely to?
be scientists and test theory, experiment with various chemicals and practices in social environments
Why is the scientific method and hypothesis so critical to science?
The scientific method and hypothesis are critical to science because when scientists test out a certain theory they need a format to be able to test it out. Without the scientific method, scientists wouldn't be able to test out theories and do certain projects.
What makes a hypothesis scientifically?
Hypotheses are useful because they can be tested, and scientists love to test to prove if whether your theory is right or wrong.
How do scientists know that a new theory is accurate?
Because all of the observations and evidence are used for support.
Does the car theory test cover the motorcyle theory test?
And what car theory test are you referring to?
