The theory of general relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, has not been proven false. It has been extensively tested and has accurately predicted various phenomena such as gravitational lensing and the existence of black holes.
What else can I help you with?
A theory is a hypothesis that has been proven true?
No. It can never be "proven" true. It's always open to question, and to any demonstration of its failure.But after time goes by, and no evidence has been presented to demonstrate that the hypothesis fails, and the hypothesis has made predictions that were confirmed by experiments designed to test them, then the hypothesis may be elevated to the status of a theory. But it's still waiting to be debunked.Interesting that a theory can be dis-proven in a day, but can't be proven in a thousand years. That's Science.
What is the leg plate theory?
Mostly used by coaches in American Football to explain why faster players are usually shorter, stating that so much running grinds the leg plates and making them shorter over time. - This theory has not been scientifically proven but it sounds probable.
What theory that continents move apart form each other?
The action of continents drifting apart from each other is called, "Continental Drift". It is no longer a theory, as it has been proven to be so. Of course, as certain continents move apart from each other, they also are moving closer to other continents.
The atomic theory proposed by Dalton has been?
The atomic theory proposed by Dalton has been widely accepted and forms the foundation of modern chemistry. It states that all matter is composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms, which combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds. Dalton's theory also introduced the idea that atoms of different elements have different properties.
Has global warming been proven?
It depends on who you listen to, and what standards of "proof" you have. I say this because, like many other controversial issues, there will be people who insist that global warming is FACT! But there are also people on the other side who insist that it ABSOLUTELY CANNOT EXIST! No, global warming has not been proven, as you would prove the existence of gravity or other laws of nature. But neither has it been disproven, at least not definitively. It is a theory, no more, and no less, like the Big Bang theory, or postulates some of us learned in math class. Very little scientific research ever reaches the point of 'proof'. Thus, we have the Theory of Gravity', the Theory of Relativity' and so on. In each case, as with global warming, scientists simply reach a consensus on what is considered almost certain, and then allow future scientists to expand on, amend or, occasionally, replace the theory. Australia's Chief Scientist, Ian Chubb, says that science is not always perfect and interpretations are not always unanimously agreed, but good science will increase probability through the weight of evidence from "possible" to " beyond reasonable doubt". He says that this is the position now with global warming.
True or false A theory is a hypothesis that has been proven true?
false
What do you call ideas that haven't been proven false?
a theory
Because ideas about evolution by natural selection have never been proven false what term can be used to describe a evolution by natural selection?
Scientific theory
What is a sentence using theory?
The theory that God created the Universe has never been proven.
Science question What is an idea that has never been proven wrong?
theory
Is it correct to say gravity is only a theory?
No. It's never correct to say that anything is "only" a theory or "just" a theory or"merely" a theory or "nothing but" a theory or an "unproven" theory.A theory can never be proven, but it can be dis-proven in two seconds. If a theoryhas been around for three hundred years and it hasn't been dis-proven yet, thenthat's a pretty good indication that you can trust the statement it makes.
A theory that has been proven true repeatedly over time and never disproven is called?
A Law
What is a Common theory?
A common theory is a theory which has not been proven or a theory without evidence.
Can a scientific theory be incorrect?
"Can a theory be proven incorrect?" absolutely, even after it has been successfully proven a "good scientific theory" (proven as in experimented, documented, tested ect...... )The theory itself can be retested and then also be proven to be incorrect. Such as subtle changes in the environment of which the study was tested can alter the results to be give a true or false outcome. Thus, in my opinion much of the reasoning behind the statement nothing in the World is absolutely 100%.
Why is the big bang theory call theory?
It is called a theory because that is precisely what it is. It is not called a theory because it 'isn't real'. Evidence is still coming in, and over the next few generations there will be a more solid sense that it is either NOT a good working model of the universe we observe, or it IS a good working model. As is true of any basic theory, it may one day be over-turned and another model will take its place. Edit: To add to the point made above - Germ Theory is still a "Theory". Although it has not been proven false, nor do we expect it to, so its assumed to be true. Same with gravity, General Relativity is only a theory, but its not been proven false, nor do we expect it to. That is how science works. Nothing is ever proven true. Theories can only be proven false and when theories stand up to rigorous testing and competition and are not able to be proven false, they then become accepted as being true. Theory of Evolution being a great example. We now know evolution is fact, but the Theory of Evolution is our attempt to describe the process of evolution and the theory.....itself....is still evolving.
How does a theory different from law?
A law is something that is said to be true and is a establised int the science community already. A theory is something that a scientist has come up with that hasnt been proven true or false.
How do you prove the big bang theory right?
Proof of theories is an idea that trips up many people who are looking to make sense of sometimes widely differing views. No fundamental theory can ever be proven. There is no special Pronouncement that comes down to verify that a theory has become a "Law". It was thought that Newton's equations were Laws, and Einstein showed that they are not, or at least that they are limited in many ways. Some simple theories, the ones that can be completely revealed as true or false, can be proven right by simple experimentation and observation. If anyone ever had the theory that there is NO breathable atmosphere between the earth and moon, that theory has been proven right; there is no need to speculate further. The most fundamental theories can never be proven right, however. There is always the possibility that another observation or piece of research will uncover something that firmly contradicts the theory. The big bang theory is one of those theories that can never be proven.
