What do scientist need to do to prove something?

If they are mathematicians they can prove a theorem. In the physical sciences theories cannot be proved. The current theory is the one that fits the experimental evidence more closely than all alternative theories. When a new theory comes along that is more accurate, the old theory is superseded.


What is one argument in favor of natural law theory?

One of the main arguments in favor of natural law theory is that even though there is no evidence to prove its existence, it does not mean it doesn\'t exist, and faith is the main vehicle to implementing it.


Why are experiments often performed in laboratories?

In science, if you are trying to "prove" a theory (that's confirm it or falsify it), you must use experimental evidence. That is, you use the theory to make a prediction and then try it out. It's no good just to sit around and talk about it.


What is was unable to prove his theory of planetary motion so it was not widely accepted by the scientific community Later Galileo used a telescope to prove the theory with evidence This is an?

He was too scared to publish his work because he was afraid of being caught by the Church, which strongly believed in the geocentric theory. Copernicus didn't publish his work until he was on his deathbed. Even when he did published it, it wasn't under his own name, instead under the name of 25-year-old George Rhetis.

What were three pieces of evidence used to prove the theory of continentle drift?

Three pieces of evidence used to prove the theory of continental drift were the fit of the continents' coastlines, the distribution of fossils across continents, and the matching geological formations found on separate continents. These observations supported the idea that the continents were once joined together and had drifted apart over time.


Why did most scientists reject Wegner theory for nearly a half century?

They rejected Wenger's theory for half a century because he didn't have the evidence to prove his theory No, He did have evidence to prove his theory, they just did not believe him- TheSystem because of their lack of knowledge of the Earth He actually had evidence, but it was actually because the hypothesis interferred with their own hypothesis about how mountains form.

To figure out formulas and equations and claculations to prove or add evidence to a theory.


What is supported by experimental evidence using a scietific methodology to prove or disprove any assumtions?

A theory.


What is an idea that explains something?

An idea that explains something could be called a theory. Good scientific theories are falsifiable which means you could prove it to be false. You can never prove a theory to be true, you can only provide evidence that supports the theory.
