Did scientists support Dobereiners theory?
no.
When was the geocentric theory invented?
Ptolemy invented the geocentric theory during the second century A.D.
why did people believe geocentric theory?
Because of Ptolemy. This was a case of both secular and religious authorities forcing a theory (which was proven wrong in the ancient world) to be the received wisdom, due to a reluctance to accept new theories. It is taught to scientists nowadays as a warning, to always be on the watch that they do not grow so comfortable with a theory that they will struggle to defend it, even against overwhelming evidence to the contrary..
Earth at the center of a series of concentric spheres?
"Geocentric".
What evidence can scientists provide to support the Big Bang theory?
There is cosmic background radiation that is thought to be the "smoke" after the big bang which can still be measured in space today. This is low energy radio waves (which we pick up as static) that can be detected at about the same level wherever we look, leading scientists to think that it is the result of the entire universe having expanded from a single point. Then there is a specific ratio of the elements. After the Big Bang, it is believed only the simpler elements, such as hydrogen and helium, existed and that all other elements were created in the high energy environment of stars.==================================Once again, the question has the whole thing backwards.Scientists do not get together at the coffee shop to dream up a theory, and thengo out looking for evidence to support it. That's not how it works. Scientists makemeasurements and observations that describe what is, and then work to assemblea theory that can explain the evidence they already have.From that point, their job is to tell a good theory from a bad one. Any theory thatseems to explain what has already been seen also predicts things that have notbeen seen yet, and that leads to the other half of the scientists' job ... testingthe predictions of the theory. NOT looking for evidence to support it, but testingthe predictions it makes to see whether they're true ... Or not. If most of themare true, then the theory survives, with possibly a few changes. If most of themare not true, then the theory is out. The evidence is still there, along with thenew evidence that came from testing the predictions, but the theory itself is asgood as gone.Scientists are human people, which leads to the inconvenient fact that there aregood scientists and poor ones. The scientists who go around looking for evidenceto support their favorite theory are generally not the good ones.
How long was it before new evidence emerged to support wegener's original theory?
In the 1960's scientists uncovered new evidence that seemed to support Wegener's theory.
If new evidence does not support a scientific theory scientists will most likely?
modify the theory or discard it altogether.
What is the primary source of evidence proposed by scientists to support the theory of an ancient Earth?
Fossils.
What do you think scientists would do if they found evidence that did not support the Big Bang theory?
Discard it all.
Which Scientists disaprove Ptolemys geosentric theory of the universe?
Galileo and Copernicus were two of the scientists to disprove Ptolemy's geocentric theory of the universe. The Ptolemaic theory stated that the center was earth.
Do you think it's wise for scientists not to accept a theory immediately even if the theory has a lot of evidence to support it?
Each scientists have there own opinion. Some accept theories and some have to have facts.
What evidence support spontaneous generation?
There was no evidence and still is none. Louis Pasteur along with countless other scientists have disproved the theory of spontaneous generation.
A physical representation of an atom is an example of a scientific?
If new evidence does not support a scientific theory, scientists will most likely
Astronomers use various tools to gather evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory What are two tools used?
Real scientists do not "gather evidence in support of" any theory. The technical term for that kind of thing is "cherry-picking". Real scientists build a theory to explain the evidence that they have already gathered, and then test the theory to see whether it holds water. The easiest, fastest way to make sure that you are regarded as a wingnut by real scientists is to adopt or invent a theory, and then spend your time trying to prove it.
Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
