What best describes an idea that has scientific consensus?
An idea that has scientific consensus is one that is widely accepted by the majority of experts in a particular field after extensive research, experimentation, and peer review. This consensus arises when multiple studies yield consistent results and conclusions, leading to a strong agreement among scientists. Such ideas are often supported by substantial evidence and are regarded as reliable within the scientific community, even though they may evolve with new discoveries. Examples include climate change due to human activity and the theory of evolution.
Why was Charles Darwin's theory of evolution not accepted at the time?
The main reason why Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was not accepted was because it was totally new. People never thought that animals branched down from older species. During his time, people thought that the reason why animals or other species existed was because it was god will. Other people believed in spontaneous birth. This was a belief that living things could be born from nothing. Also, most people were Christian, and Darwin was threatening the validity of the Bible. It would have been mad for people back then, the fact that they always relied on the Bible as fact, and suddenly there was other ideas to consider
What is the pure scentific theory?
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.
Why Scientist redo their experiment?
In an experiment, there are many variables (things that can't be controlled). For an accurate result, experiments must be done many times over to so that a pattern can be seen, giving scientists an idea of what the result is. For example, if you tested how music affected plant growth, and tested it once, if the plant died because of other causes, it could seem like the music affected the plant. By doing the experiment many times and seeing no affect on the majority of the plants, the scientists would see that music has no affect on plant growth. Scientists redoing experiments is to ensure that the results are credible.
