Not always it may go wrong sometimes. In case of newton's corpuscular theory of light it was proved wrong as the light speed is found experimentally to be less in denser compared to that in rarer medium. According to his corpuscular concept, he declared that the speed of light will be more in denser than that in rarer. Same way newton's absolute time and absolute space concept were found to be invalid.

When and why do scientists discard scientific theory?

Scientific theorums are normally discarded after they have been proven to be wrong after a series of testing to verify if the theory was correct or not. Scientific theorums can take years, sometimes decades to be proven to be correct or incorrect.


Give the value of scientific theory?

A scientific theory must be based on many repeated correct experiments; also this theory must be related with other accepted theories.


How theory and laws related?

A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.


What is the difference between a scientific theory and just the common theory?

A scientific theory has been tested repeatedly and is correct for all observed results. A common theory (as used in everyday language) is just a guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory


Is theory development always part of the scientific method?

It is fair to say that the scientific method is always intended to produce better theories.


Why is the law of gravity a scientific law- not a scientific theory?

In general, a scientific theory is a proposed explanation that has not been fully proven yet, while a law is a theory that has been proven to be true by lots of experimentation. The theory of Gravity has been tested and shown to be correct so much that it is at this point clearly a scientific law.


How would you distinguish a scientific theory from from a scientific law?

A scientific law is something that has been proved again and again under experimentation, and is always true. A scientific theory is an educated guess made based off of a group of data that is not proven to be true. For example, Newton's Laws are scientific laws since they have been proven to be always true. The theory of gravity is a scientific theory because gravity itself has not been completely proven to exist.


What would happen if correct new evidence was discovered that did not agree with a well established scientific theory?

The theory would be modified or replaced.


Is QIT always correct?

Quantum information theory (QIT) is a mathematical framework that describes information processing tasks with quantum systems. However, like any scientific theory, it is subject to experimental verification and refinement. While QIT has been successful in predicting and explaining many quantum phenomena, it is not "always correct" and is continually being developed and tested through experiments.


Why does a scientist repeat scientific investigations?

Scientists often repeat scientific investigations to verify that the results for a hypothesis or a group of hypotheses are correct. This can lead to a scientific theory.
