A theory is a hypothesis which has been tested (against "reality").
hypothesis
In general, attractive forces between two bodies are described by laws of nature (such as the law of gravity, Coulomb's Law, etc.) but if you were to describe a previously unknown type of attractive force, that might be a hypothesis which could become a new theory.
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.
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.
The Hypothesis Must Be Supported In Order For It To Become A Theory
A hypothesis become a theory if it is proved by experimental data. tested; conclusion (apex)
The Hypothesis Must Be Supported In Order For It To Become A Theory
as evidence from numerous investigations builds up a particular hypothesis my become so wellsupported that it becomes a theory
A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypotheses are eliminated.
A scientific theory
Answer this question… What can a hypothesis become if it is supported by repeated experimentation?
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.
A hypothesis, or group of hypotheses, that is accepted as consistently valid is a theory. Either a hypothesis or a theory can be ultimately disproven. One definition of a theory is an accepted hypothesis.
It would become a theory. Then different predictions would need to be made to test other parts of it.
A proven hypothesis becomes a theory.
Yes, because if enough people prove the hypothesis and produce evidence supporting it it can become a theory.
