Can scientific theory be disproved?
Yes. If a scientific theory cannot be "falsified" - that is, proven to be not true - then it isn't "scientific". A scientific theory will always lead to some tests that can be performed. If the test fails - that is to say, if your theory doesn't behave in accordance with the experimental results - then we can say that the theory is "disproved". This is the problem with a lot of the "global warming" and "global climate change" hysteria; the computer models for climate change make a number of predictions, but the models don't behave as predicted. The global climate change theory is, if we judge by the results of the models, disproved.
Has the Copenhagen interpretation been disproved?
As of now, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics has not been definitively disproved. It remains a widely accepted and influential interpretation in the field of quantum physics.
How can a scientific theory be proven?
A scientific theory can never be "proven". It can only be "Disproved. Science is a process of elimination. We eliminate those theories which are not in agreement with current experimental evidence. But, it is nearly unreasonable to claim to have produced a theory which is in perfect agreement with every scientific discovery (at least for now). Even the most accurate scientific theories in the 21st century have uncertainties, most notably General Relativity and Quantum mechanics. These theories, for example, aim to describe the same phenomena (or equivalent mechanical phenomena) in two separate regimes. While many people hold high levels of confidence in both theories, the two have been found to be irreconcilable. It has, in fact, been proposed that the only way this problem can be overcome is if one (or both) of these theories is modified or abandoned. But, this is only possible if one (or both) of these theories is "disproved" . This is not necessarily a foreign thought. A lot of evidence, both experimental and observational, already seem to disagree with these theories. Unfortunately, abandoning one theory means having to develop a new and better theory. This has proven to be a huge task, and many scientists are preferring to either reform or modify the current theories.
What is a prediction that can be proved or disproved by experiments?
A prediction that can be proved or disproved by experiments is that a chemical reaction will occur when two specific substances are mixed together under certain conditions. By conducting the experiment and observing the presence or absence of a reaction, the prediction can be verified.
When a theory is disproved by further evidence occurs?
When a theory is disproven by further evidence, it means that the predictions or explanations it offers are no longer supported by the new data. This can lead to a revision or rejection of the theory in favor of one that better fits all available evidence. The scientific process encourages updating theories based on new evidence to improve our understanding of the natural world.
How does facts help scientist?
Scientists make theories or equations that are not proved. Facts prove or disprove the theories or the equations. Note: -Some theories or equations can't be proved or disproved by facts so they are proved or disproved by the majority of scientists.
Can a theory ever be disproved If so what happens to the original theory?
Certainly. Many theories are disproved. A disproved theory will either be reworked based on the information obtained while disproving it or will be discarded.
How did Albert Einstein invent things?
he prepared theories and negative and positive plans and either proved or disproved them.
What is the role of theories in research?
Theory is used used to craft the null hypothesis, which is either proved or disproved by the research itself
Which scientist made highly accurate measurements that first disproved the theories of Ptolemy and Copernicus?
The scientist that made highly accurate measurements that first disapproved the theories of Ptolmy and Copernicus was called Brahe.
Can scientific theories change?
Yes, they can, if new evidence is discovered to support a change in the theory. Physical theories are not provable in the sense of mathematical theorems. They depend on evidence, and they can be disproved if enough contrary evidence comes up.
Who developed a stronger telescope and was able to prove that Ptolemy's theories about the moon were wrong?
Galileo Galilei constructed telescopes to conduct his observations. He also disproved the Ptolemaic model.
What is one of Dalton's theories that has been disproved?
Dalton theorized that an atom was a tiny solid sphere. Today we know that atoms are not solid, in fact are mostly open space.
Who disproved geocentric theory?
Claudius Ptolemy disproved geocentric theory.
What is a sicentific theory?
A scientific theory provides an explanation of observed natural phenomena and predictions that can be tested by further experiments. These f]serve as the framework for organizing scientific knowldege. Theories are not proven or facts, these are just predictions and possible explanations. Theories can never be completey true, they can only be disproved.
Who disproved the vital theory?
vital theory was disproved by mr shianrilong reamei
Are all theories always completely accepted or completely rejected?
Fact supported theories and not guesses, but reliable accounts of the real world. Most theories accepted by scientists have been repeatedly tested by experiments and thus can be used to make predictions, which are then most likely to be true
