The incredible bulk theory, which suggests that large celestial bodies can accumulate mass through gravitational attraction, is supported by several pieces of evidence. Observations of planet formation show that larger bodies attract more material, leading to increased mass through accretion. Additionally, the existence of gas giants like Jupiter, which have amassed significant mass and retain thick atmospheres, exemplifies this process. Studies of exoplanets also indicate that larger planets are more likely to exist in systems with abundant material, reinforcing the theory's validity.
What else can I help you with?
Is a scientific theory a controlled experiment?
No - you can use evidence from an experiment to support a theory, but they are not the same thing. A theory is an idea as to why something is, how it works, etc. that is strongly supported by evidence. An experiment is set up in order to gather information to support a theory or to help a hypothesis become a theory.
A statement that consistently and correctly describes some natural phenomenon is a scientific?
A statement that consistently and correctly describes a natural phenomenon based on evidence and experimentation is a scientific theory. It is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, supported by a vast body of evidence and is subject to testing and refinement through observation and experimentation.
What happens when new evidence does not support your theory?
Depends on whether all the theory is being contradicted or only a part of theory faces contradiction. For instance; the theory of evolution by natural selection would take a theory shaking hit if we found fossil rabbits in the Cambrian period, which has not happened. Only part of the theory of evolution by natural selection was contradicted by Mendelian genetics, when Mendel's much better heritability mechanism replaced Darwin's idea about blending inheritance. The theory only got stronger by this ratification.If that new evidence is solid enough, it may require a revision of the theory. If it is just shaky and occurs because of some error in the experiment, it is usually discarded as uncredible.
What are some hypotheses that turned in to theories?
Some examples of hypotheses that became theories are the theory of evolution by natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin, the theory of relativity developed by Albert Einstein, and the atomic theory proposed by John Dalton. These hypotheses were extensively tested, supported by multiple lines of evidence, and eventually widely accepted by the scientific community.
What is a theory and how is it made?
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence. The process of creating a theory typically involves observation, hypothesis formulation, testing through experimentation, and revision based on results until a reliable and comprehensive explanation is developed. Theories can be refined or replaced as new evidence is collected, leading to a better understanding of the phenomenon being studied.
What is some evidence that supports Nicolaus Steno theory?
bull
Is a hypothesis is more certain than a theory in science?
No. A theory is more certain: it is a hypothesis which has had some supporting evidence.
What is scientific evidence appeal?
Scientific evidence appeal is some form of proof which supports or counters a scientific theory. This is the information that will be used as empirical evidence of a hypothesis.
A general set of principles supported by evidence that explains some aspect of nature?
A theory
What is supported by some evidence but is not yet the basis for a field of study is called a?
working theory
Do you think it's wise for scientists not to accept a theory immediately even if the theory has a lot of evidence to support it?
Each scientists have there own opinion. Some accept theories and some have to have facts.
What is the definition of Scientific Evidence Appeal?
Scientific evidence is facts or evidence that is used to prove or disprove a scientific theory. Scientific evidence appeal is when new finding or statistics are brought to light that disprove some or all of the previous evidence's findings.
Is a theory is something that you can prove to be?
A theory(in science) is something that that has been confirmed by a great ammount of evidence. Theorys explain the facts. (Hypothosis is an idea based on the observed evidence. Theory is a tested, confirmed hypothosis) Fact: the sun is bright and hot theory: nuclear fusion im sure some one can asnwer this much better that I did. But you asked if a theory is something "that you can prove to be"? not as an absolute fact, that's only in mathematics. But based on all known evidence it is what is most likely to be true. evidence has to do with the natural world. Proof is a different thing.
An idea that is supported by some evidence but is not yet the basis for a field of study is called?
What branch of earth science studies the great lakers?
What is a set of ideas supported by evidence?
A theory is a set of ideas supported by evidence. It is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. Theories can evolve and change as new evidence is discovered.
Is a explanation that has been tested and verified a theory?
A scientific explanation that has been rigorously tested, validated, and supported by evidence is known as a theory. The key distinction is that a theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has withstood extensive scrutiny and testing.
What is a scientific theory that has been changed due to new evidence?
When new evidence is found, the theory is tested against the new evidence, if the theory and new evidence are compatible then the theory is confirmed, if the new evidence and the theory are not compatible, then this indicates the theory is wrong and the theory must be abandoned or modified. Sometimes a theory will predict that new things (evidence) will be discovered. In such cases when these things are discovered AS PREDICTED, the theory becomes stronger. For instance some of the outer planets were predicted (using orbital and gravitational theory and observation on the orbits of known planets) and they were later discovered close to where they were predicted to be.
