A hypothesis is changed or updated often than scientific theory?
If I understand the question correctly, you are asking whether a scientify *theory* can be revised as new evidence is presented, and the answer is YES. This forms the entire foundation of science - any theory that cannot be revised is contrary to the scientific method; it has, in effect, become dogma. Any theory that cannot be demonstrated through the available evidence must be rejected. So, if a scientist discovers new data that invalidates a previously working theory, then that theory is rejected by the scientific community.
Why is Einstein's theory of relativity an improvement on Newton's theory of gravity?
It will be replaced by a new theory when enough evidence is collected
What happens when data conflicts with a theory?
If data conflicts with a scientific theory, then the theory must change or be abandoned. Scientific discipline requires the scientist putting forward a theory to attempt to disprove it before publishing his or her findings. Once published, the proposed theory is subjected to peer review, in which other scientists, competent in the relevant discipline, attempt to disprove the hypothesis. Only after thorough checking is a proposed theory accepted by the scientific community. Even then, it is constantly subjected to stress testing and analysis, as new data come to light.For example, Newtonian physics were eventually found to be invalid in special circumstances identified by Albert Einstein, and the relevant theories were amended accordingly.
What can a law or theory be changed?
All it takes is new data.
What is the tip of a pencil?
It is a new type of led the scientist use for pencils now in stead of toxic ones!
What is the result when a scientist gains new information about a theory?
The theory is modified.
When does scientific theory need modification or replacement by new theory?
When there wrong about there theory. Like for example , if a scientist creates a new theory, but research proved it incorrect.
What is usually the result when a scientist gains new information about theory?
The scientific method is a body of techniques used to solve problems. When a scientist gains new information about a theory, the result is usually a new hypothesis.
What is the merit of a new scientific theory is judged by scientist community based on?
how well existing scientific data are explained by the new theory.
How did scientist develop the big bang theory?
They had to come with something new.
How does a scientific theory change?
Scientist are always testing their models to get new information or results, but other times learning evidence makes scientist have to change their models so scientist can change their models in theory.
What do scientist need to do to prove something?
If they are mathematicians they can prove a theorem. In the physical sciences theories cannot be proved. The current theory is the one that fits the experimental evidence more closely than all alternative theories. When a new theory comes along that is more accurate, the old theory is superseded.
What would cause scientist's to change or replace the modern atomic theory?
new technology
What happens to a theory when new information is found?
The new information or research will be either republished by the original scientist or sometimes a different group will take it and republish the scientific theory with the new information.
What is a scientist hypothesis?
A hypothesis is a temporary explanation for some observation. It is then tested and, if is found to be incorrect, a new one has to be formed. If found to be correct, it becomes a theory. If that theory is later found to have a counter-example it is modified (hypothesis -> theory - same process) or a completely new hypothesis proposed and tested. The hypothesis alwasy comes before the theory. it is a practical explanation that the scientist develops that accounts for a theory.
Are theories ever changed or modified after they have been tested?
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 would a scientist do if the common theories do not apply to the finding of his or her work?
create a new theory to apply to the research he or she had completed
