A THEORY that has been proved true would become a THEOREM. One example is the Pythagorean Theorem, a very famous math theorem that tells that in a right triangle, the squared lengths of both legs (sides adjacent to the right angle) add up to the squared length of the hypotenuse (side opposite the right angle).
Theorem:
a and b are legs, c is the hypotenuse. a^2+b^2=c^2, as with the example 3^2+4^2=5^2
9 + 16 =25
A scientific law is something that has been proved again and again under experimentation, and is always true. A scientific theory is an educated guess made based off of a group of data that is not proven to be true. For example, Newton's Laws are scientific laws since they have been proven to be always true. The theory of gravity is a scientific theory because gravity itself has not been completely proven to exist.
Religious skepticism is the belief that no religion has offered convincing evidence that it is true, or has offered convincing evidence that the central beliefs of that religion are true. Skepticism is not the same thing as a belief that all religions are false; it is a belief that they have not been proved to be true.
true
No. Pseudoscience is a belief or practice which claim to be scientific but have not yet proved it. For instance, some people consider Astrology or Psychic Powers to pseudoscience (personally, I feel astrology is not pseudo science). Physics IS a scientific practice and has been proved throughout history.
true
They are propositions that have been proved to be true.
The word that means information that hasn't been proved to be true is "rumor." Rumors are pieces of information or claims that are circulating widely but have not been verified.
A theorem in math is defined as a result that has been proved to be true using facts that were known. An example of this is the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
They are propositions that have been proved to be true.
A proposition is a statement that is thought to be true but has not yet been proved.
I think what is meant here are things that are believed to be mathematically true but haven't been proved. Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorem proved that in mathematics there are true things that can't be proved true. Until fairly recently, Fermat's last theorem was a candidate truth that couldn't be proved. However, that has now been proved - with great difficulty! A current conjecture is that every even integer is the sum of two primes; 8 = 3 + 5, 10 = 5 + 5, 12 = 7 +5 and so on. Every even number that's been tested has confirmed this theory, but its never been proved.
Neither. It is a hypothesis which may be true until proved or proved to be false.
No, a lot of people have rumored that he was, but none of these theories have been proved true.
Irrefutable evidence is the only means that something is proved to be true.
Irrefutable evidence is the only means that something is proved to be true.
A statement that can be proved to be true or false is known as a proposition in logic. For example, the statement "The Earth orbits the Sun" is a proposition that can be verified as true. Conversely, the statement "All swans are white" can be proven false by the existence of black swans. These statements are distinct from opinions or questions, which cannot be categorized as true or false.
Well, many people believe differant things. They haven't been proved true but there is no proof of them not to exist.
