You either discard your theory, or you can modify it so that it matches the data you have collected.

What is an accepted explanation of facts?

An accepted explanation of facts is a commonly agreed interpretation or theory that provides a logical and substantiated framework for understanding a set of observed phenomena. It is based on empirical evidence, analysis, and consensus within a particular field of study or community of experts.


Is time relative?

Yes. When you move past an observer, he will notice that your clock is running slow.But you will also notice that his clock is running slow. I agree with you . . . it doesn'tmake sense, and it can't be. Unfortunately, it is.


Why was Albert Einstein criticized?

Albert Einstein was criticized for his theory of relativity, which challenged traditional physics concepts. Some physicists at the time did not agree with his ideas, and there were debates about the implications of his theory. Additionally, Einstein's pacifist views and political activism also drew criticism from some individuals and groups.


Characteristics of a theory?

1- Self-consistencyThere should be no contradictions between various parts of the theory.2- Consistency with experimental and observational evidenceSuccessful confrontation with valid data is fundamental.3- Testability/FalsifiabilityAn experiment can be devised to test the theory's predictions. A possible outcome of the test is failure.4- Consistency with other valid theoriesThe new theory must agree with pre-existing accepted other theories, or explain (in a satisfactory manner) why the latter should be modified or rejected.5- AdaptabilityThe theory's framework must be able to accommodate new data and be improved upon, if necessary.6- ParsimonyThere are no unnecessary assumption or superfluous hypothesis.


What does contract mean in science class?

In science class, a contract typically refers to a set of guidelines and expectations that students agree to follow in order to create a safe and productive learning environment. This may include rules related to safety procedures, equipment usage, behavior during experiments, and collaborative work. By signing the contract, students demonstrate their commitment to adhering to these guidelines.

If a theory does not agree with the experiments designed to test it?

If a theory does not agree with the experiments designed to test it, than either the experiment is faulty and needs to be fixed or the theory needs to be reviewed and reconsidered..


How can a scientific theory be changed by experiment?

Yes, it can if the experiments can add more data to make a real change. You would have to have others do the same experiments and agree with you.

If a hypothesis does not agree with the experiment designed to confirm it what two choices do you have?

The incorrect hypothesis may be discarded, or it can be modified until it is consistent with all the data that has been collected.


If a hypothesis does not agree with the experiment designed to confirm it what two choices do I have?

1 change the hypothesis to meet the facts 2. ignore the facts and loudly condemn anyone who disagrees with you


How are scientific laws affected by new theories?

They are unaffected because theories are explanations. Trust me! I'm a doctor! A law is really a theory that has stood the test of time. It will have been tested because experiments will have been proposed and then carried out. If they agree with the current law then the status quo remains unchanged. If a new theory comes along which challenges a currently held view or law then experiments will be proposed to test it. If they agree with the new theory then the current law may be modified or abandoned. Examples are Phlogiston, sub-atomic particles, etc.
