Idea: Something you think of. Belief: Something you believe is true. Scientific law: Something you believe is true, based on scientific hard evidence. Theory: A set of scientific laws that explain a field of human life or the cosmos. Another Opinion: "Difference" requires Recognition, as well as a Certain level of Honesty with regards to Standards being Universal Via Measurements." This statement, is my Idea, based on a Belief, that a Theory must be plausible with respect to Scientific Laws, therefore, My Idea, My Belief, and My Theory, are Useless, if any, and or all, Contradict the Physical Laws of Nature, also referred to as The Scientific Laws.
Between Scientific Theory and what?
Mostly semantics. A "law" is a theory that can be expressed mathematically.
no difference! But there's not such a scientific theory. It's a lyric... I think
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
A hypothesis requires confirmation to advance to the status of theory.
Scientific theory can usually be proven by a repeatable experiment. Popular theory is just what the masses and media think.
A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
A scientific theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon determined through the scientific method consisting tests and experiments. A biblical theory is a theory that comes from the bible.
A Theory is somthing that you think or predict, where as a question is a question; E.G: Whats your name?
A scientific theory describes how some particular phenomenon happens or works, and a scientific law is a mathematical, or other very concise summary of the consequences of a theory. Laws and theories, in science, do not form a hierarchy of belief (as some uninformed people believe) in which a theory, when sufficiently confirmed, advances to the status of a law. Rather, laws are part of theories.
law is based on fact theory is a concept/idea
A scientific theory become a law when it is widely recognized and accepted by the scientific community in the epoch.
