Are theories proved scientific ideas?

Putting it simply, theories and ideas are not proven scientific facts, but remain as such, an idea or a theory which have yet still to be proven.


Is it possible to change a stated theory in the scientific world?

I think Scientific Theories can be changeable. If we find new theories that prove others wrong, that scientific theory can be proved wrong. Galileo used shapes of different masses at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He had refuted the theory about free falling objects, championed by Aristole. So there you have it! He changed a scientific theory! Actually, two! He proved that the earth was NOT in the center of the universe, which had been accepted since ancient time. People can scientific theories CAN be changeable. Not unchangeable.


Why is there resistance to new scientific theories?

There is not enough evidence to support these new theories. More tests and research needs to be carried out before these theories can be proved.


How a scientific theroy differs from a guess or an opinion?

A scientific theory is based on a practical work of a scientists who on the basis of these practicals they deliver theories with solid and proved methods but a guess or opinion is an idea of ours which is not based on practicals or just a hypothesis.Scientific theories are often proved true but we can say nothing about a guess


Is a scientific theory the same as a scientific law?

A scientific theory is not the same as a scientific law because a law is already proved and used but theories can be changed by other scientists is the view of a 13 year old girl.

Is a theory a problem to be solved?

No, theories are reasonably well proved scientific conclusions and usually treated as fact.


Can future testing prove a scientific theory to be incorrect?

First off that's not a word, and any scientific theory can be debunked if a better theory replaces it or the evidence begins to point in a different direction thus debasing the previous theory.


How have scientific theories changed over time?

Scientific theories have changed over time as new evidence is discovered through experiments and observations. As technology advances, scientists can gather more accurate data and refine their theories accordingly. Additionally, the acceptance and rejection of ideas by the scientific community also influence the evolution of scientific theories.

What are the criticisms of Carl Jung's works?

Jung wrote in a style that was scientific, as if psychology was a science. But in science, theories must be proved, but the workings of the human mind can never be put to scientific test. Critics attacked his theories as unprovable.


Why are scientist still resistant to change in scientific thought in light of new evidence?

Scientists are not resistant to change, they are always ready to look at new evidence for scientific theories. But science develops by looking at new ideas and rejecting the ones that can be proved wrong, so this is why scientists always have to look at new ideas when they come along and try to disprove them. The scientific theories that last are the ones that could never be disproved.
