What else can I help you with?
What can happened to the theory such as a theory of an earth centered universe?
a.if a new observations are made, it can be replaced.
What theory replaced the spontaneous generation?
The theory of biogenesis replaced the theory of spontaneous generation. Biogenesis states that living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms, while spontaneous generation proposed that living organisms could arise spontaneously from non-living matter. The experiments by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century helped disprove spontaneous generation and supported the theory of biogenesis.
When can scientific theories be changed or replaced?
Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when there has been significant evidence for the change. The scientific method must be used to create a new hypothesis, which must then be proven.
Is the big bang theory a load of crap?
It is the current working theory of the origin of the universe. It is the paradigm that Astronomy is based upon. But, new evidence is always being described. The theory itself might change as our knowledge grows.
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 can happened to the theory such as a theory of an earth centered universe?
a.if a new observations are made, it can be replaced.
What would happen if correct new evidence was discovered that did not agree with a well established scientific theory?
The theory would be modified or replaced.
What ancientgreek philospher and science first proposed the theory?
Might be helpful if we new the theory....
What theory replaced the spontaneous generation?
The theory of biogenesis replaced the theory of spontaneous generation. Biogenesis states that living organisms can only arise from pre-existing living organisms, while spontaneous generation proposed that living organisms could arise spontaneously from non-living matter. The experiments by Louis Pasteur in the 19th century helped disprove spontaneous generation and supported the theory of biogenesis.
Why might scientists change a scientific theory?
If a new theory better fits the data overall or simply because new and significant data disagrees or the method which brought about the original theory is invalid.
What might cause scientists to change scientific theory?
Because technology might change in the future.
Which of the following is a reason why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
The simple answer is people don't like change. And to have this new idea that goes against something that may have been believed for hundreds or thousands of years, will very likely be rejected at first.
When can scientific theories be changed or replaced?
Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when there has been significant evidence for the change. The scientific method must be used to create a new hypothesis, which must then be proven.
How might evolution theory account for this phenomenon?
Evolutionary theory can account for the phenomenon of a new species. This is because different species can evolve from a common ancestor.
What is the name of the newer theory that replaced Wegeners theory?
In the 1960s, researchers discovered several mountain ranges on the ocean floor. These mountains suggested that the earth's crust consists of 20 slabs or plates. The discovered led to a new theory called "Plate Tectonics."
How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus's heliocentric theory?
Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.
A theory is an accepted explanation of an observed phenomenon until?
Until observations and experiments conflict with the theory
