A theory that has stood the test of time and has been consistently verified by experiments is often referred to as a scientific law or principle. These theories are typically well-established and widely accepted within the scientific community due to their robustness and predictive power. However, they remain open to refinement or revision if new evidence emerges.

Why must an experiment be able to be conducted by scientist?

A theory is useless if it cannot be tested and verified/disproven. That is the purpose of experiments.


How can an idea be elevated to a principle theory or a law?

The scientific definition of a " theory" is an experimentally verified "hypothesis" or idea. A " law" is a mathematical formula that describes the theory and experimental understanding in terms of equations and/or logical constructs. A person will have a hypothesis about a phenomenon and structure a logical experiment to test the hypothesis. This test has to be both falsifiable and verifiable. Meaning, that the results must show unquestionably whether the theory is true or false. Of course, there have been many situations when an experiment verifies a theory, but that another theory comes along that explains both that experiment and another phenomenon simulaneously. In this way, theories can either explain new phenomena or explain known phenomena better. This is the evolution of scientific thought and theories. When the theory can be formulated in a mathematical construction, then it is called a law. A law is considered to be a significantly verified theory that we understand so well as to formulate an equation to explain it. newtest3


A hypothesis that has been verified by many scientists?

scientific theory


Does a experiment test a theory?

i dont no but i need the anwser Yes an experiment will test a theory. You perform an experiment to test the hypothesis. If the experiment can be repeated then the hypothesis becomes a theory. People perform experiments to test and retest theories.


What is a theory based on?

A theory is based on a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an estimated or intelligent guess about the outcome of an experiment. A theory is based on what happens during the experiment.

Why are experimental probabilities sometimes very different from theoretical probabilities?

A perfect example of how theories are tested ! Theory predicts the outcome of the experiment, and the purpose of the experiment is to test the theory. If the outcome of the experiment is appreciably different from the one predicted by the theory, (and if the experiment itself was valid), then the prediction is flawed, and the theory must be either tweaked or trashed.

When a scientist does an experiment and draws a conclusion how does the conclusion differ from a theory?

A conclusion is what the experimenter observes from the experiment andwhether your hypothesis was proven correct or not.While the theory is the facts that is known about the experiment


The result of the experiment is called?

theory
