If a scientific theory has been held as true for many years what will happen when a well monitored experiment gives evidence that seems to go against that theory?

- If the evidence is accurate, it may disprove the theory.

When does the scientific community accept the results of a scientific experiment?
after it has been tested against a control group with stats
Why is it important to control variables in a scientific experiment?
It is important to have controlled variables in a scientific experiment because it is the variable that remains the same it doesn't change. Its a consent & can be measured against.

What is the difference between science experiment and a science project?
A science experiment is when you don't know the outcome ahead of time, and perform tests to figure out the outcome. A science project is when you know what the results are SUPPOSED to be and then try to duplicate them from theory to reality.
What are the steps to a scientific method?
The steps to the scientific method as it is today. 1) Ask a scientific question. What is that growing in the yard? 2) Make observations. -For example: Your 5 senses. Hearing, feeling, tasting, sight, and smell. 3) Gather information. -Make a list of all the places you could gather information for a scientific question. 4) Form a Hypothesis. -What you think the outcome of the Experiment will be. 5)Experiment. -Controlled experiment: only one variable is being changed/ manipulated at a time. -Control: is the part of an experiment that is standard against which results are compared. -Dependent Variable: is the condition in the experiment that is being tested. (is the variable that you would be measuring) -Independent Variable: is the variable that is being changed/ manipulated in the experiment. -Constant: any variable that remains the same for all experimental groups. 6) Collect Data. -Numerical data is often displayed in a chart. 7) Analyze Data. -Graph your results. 8) Draw a conclusion. -Compare your results to your Hypothesis. Scientific Method: 1.Ask a scientific question 2. Make an observation. 3. Ask a question. 4. Make a hypothesis. 5. Conduct an experiment. 6. Collect data 7. Analyze data 8. Draw a conclusion See link below:

Can shakeology defend against cancer?
There is no scientific evidence or claim that Shakeology can defend against cancer.
Why should scientist debate the result of a scientific experiment?
The results go against the thinking of society.
When you die do you go into an animals body?
There has been no scientific evidence either for or against this question.
If careful and accurate scientific measurements disagree with the measurements predicted by theory what happens?
This is usually considered evidence against the theory or that the theory needs adjustments. However if similar experiments of similar quality confirm the theory, this experiment may have hidden errors.

What is a sentence with the word monitored?
The participants of the study were monitored closely by the scientists.CCTV cameras are monitored twenty-four hours a day as a deterrent against crime.
How is a control useful in a scientific experiment?
A control experiment provides a benchmark against which to compare the results of the main experiment. For example, to know if heating a material changes its resistance, you must be able to compare the results of the heated experiment to a copy in which the material was left unheated.
What are the arguments for and against DNA evidence?
There are many arguments for and against DNA evidence. One argument is that it cannot be disproved as deciding evidence.
How a scientific theory differs from a guess or an opinion?
A hypothesis is a guess based on the knowledge of the scientist who makes it about what will happen in certain conditions. An experiment is designed to test the hypothesis, or observations are made in the conditions that the hypothesis describes. If the experiment or observation proves that the hypothesis is wrong, then the hypothesis is modified or discarded. If many, many different experiments and observations, performed many, many times, by many, many different scientists all seem to support the hypothesis, then the hypothesis comes to be accepted by the scientific community as a good working model for the conditions it describes. It then becomes a theory. At any time, an observation could disprove a theory or at least force it to be modified, but all theories currently accepted at any given time have lots of strong scientific evidence supporting them. (It is impossible to PROVE a theory, only to provide evidence in support of it). A theory will alwaysbe reconsidered in the face of new evidence. An opinion may not be. A theory also has much more evidence behind it than a guess.
What can evidence provide?
Evidence can prove, or disprove, the case against you.
