A common theory is something that is easy for everyone to understand. Sometimes it states the easiest possible explanation of a phenomena. Also, in some cases it can be partly wrong, not completely wrong, but partly wrong. Whereas a scientific theory is something which states the perfect explanation of a phenomena. It consists of complex terms and sometimes can be hard to understand for general, non-scientist people. For example, generally it is said that the mass of an object is constant under any circumstances. It is a common theory, can be understood by all. But the scientific theory states that the mass of an object is constant only if it is immobile or is moving at a speed slower than light. If an object moves faster than light, it gains mass and weighs heavy. That is the difference between a common theory and a scientific one.
This is a bit of a toughy really. Scientific theory can be thought of as falling into one of 3 categories. 1. Law. This is something that is generally accepted by all of the scientific community or the vast majority of those within the specific scientific field. e.g. Newton's Laws of motion etc 2 Theory. This is widely accepted by most of the scientific community or large amount of those in a specific field although opposing theories may exist. 3. Hypothesis (literally meaning below thesis or lower than theory). Is generally a new discovery or procedure to be introduced to the scientific community. So, coming back to your question: The purest scientific theory would probably be defined as Law, thus being accepted by all or the majority of the scientific community. Hope this helps.
A law cannot become a theory, as laws are higher in scientific hierarchy than theories. Theories may become laws when the evidence for their factuality proves that the theory meets all established requirements set forth by the theory. If at any point in the scientific method a theory is disproven for the criteria that it sets forth, it can never be considered a Law. The hierarchy is thusly: Hypothesis < Theory < Law.
Scientific reasoning is more disciplined and more logical than other ways of thinking.

A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
There are far more than five scientific errors. The Geocentric theory for instance
A scientific theory is a theory, no given proof of being a fact, a scientific law is what always happens, essentially a fact. Both is in chemistry and physics. The theory of gravitation happens before it became the Law of gravitation. Scientific theories and laws are similar except laws were proven to be recognize as a fact.
The operation of the periscope requires nothing more than the simple geometry of reflection from a plane mirror ... a theory that is well supported by observation and experiment. Its use requires no scientific theory.
Modern theory of bro Darwinism is a satirical interpretation of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution that emphasizes competition for "mates" and social status among males. This differs from Darwin's original theory, which focused on natural selection and survival of the fittest in the context of broader scientific principles rather than just among males in a social setting. Bro Darwinism is not a valid scientific theory.

No, a scientific fact is a direct and observable observation while a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of a natural phenomena based on evidence and experimentation. Scientific theories are more robust and comprehensive than facts as they explain why a phenomena occurs rather than just stating that it occurs.
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific fields, including genetics, paleontology, and biogeography. It has been tested and confirmed through numerous observations and experiments, making it a well-established scientific theory rather than just a guess.
A belief is a strongly held opinion that is not proven to be true. A hypothesis is an opinion as to the facts. People often use the word 'theory' when they really mean 'hypothesis'. A scientific theory is more rigorous than a hypothesis. As far as is known, based on strong evidence, a scientific theory is fact, or truth.
In science, a theory and a law serve different purposes. A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is supported by evidence and can be repeatedly tested and verified, while a scientific law is a statement that describes a pattern in nature. The distinction between the two is based on the level of understanding and evidence supporting them, with theories typically being more complex and comprehensive than laws.
theory can only be a best simulation based on a formula. Fact is material proof
