How is law different from a theory?

A Theory is unproven, but Laws are proven. Theory becomes law after that theory is proven correct.


Can theories be proven?

Well yeah. Its called a theory because it wasn't proven right yet. Once proven right, its called a fact.


What best described a theory?

a) an idea that has never been proven wrong


How can you call a scientific theory good if it is capapable of being proven wrong?

Yes ... in theory. Scientific knowledge is always provisional knowledge, that is, not absolutely certain. However, it is very, very rare for a well established scientific theory to be completely overturned. Ordinarily theories are refined by correcting small errors, or by filling in missing parts. Relativity 'superceded' Newtonian Physics, but it did not replace it or find it wrong. Rather it extended it into new realms, and provided a new basis for Gravity (among other things). See the entry for "Theory" in Wikipedia for more. (And always remember, the meaning of "theory" in science is not the same as the meaning in ordinary language, where theory is often used to mean "hypothesis". In science, "Theory" means a well established body of laws and facts.)


How do you know that evolution is a theory?

It is a well-established, well-tested, well-supported, comprehensive model for the explanation of a well-defined set of observations in various branches of science. That is the definition of what a scientific theory must be, and thus evolutionary theory is a scientific theory.


What is the difference between a theorem and a theory?

From Wikipedia:In mathematics, a theorem is a statement proved on the basis of previously accepted or established statements.Definitively speaking, a theory is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and the laws based on them. In other words, it is an explanation to a set of observations. Additionally, in contrast with a theorem the statement of the theory is generally accepted only in some tentative fashion as opposed to regarding it as having been conclusively established."Basically speaking, the major difference is that a theoryis not "conclusively established", whereas a theorem is.

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.


Why do you think our current of atomic structure is well accepted as a scientific theory but is not a scientific law?

In science, "theory" is the name applied to well-established scientific knowledge. It doesn't mean that there are doubts about the atomic theory.


What is a well tested concept that explains a wide rang of observation?

It is a scientific theory.


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

The law of gravity is considered a law because it describes a consistent and well-established relationship between objects with mass. It has been extensively tested and confirmed through experiments and observations, making it a fundamental principle in physics. Theories, on the other hand, are broader explanations that encompass multiple laws and observations.


Why does protoplanet theory remain theory?

In science, the word "theory" is USUALLY used for well-established theoretical frameworks, that are generally accepted as being true. This is the case with the theory on protoplanets - it is generally held to be true.
