No theories are correct. That is why they are called theories.
These are the best that can be done with present knowledge, they explain and make prediction that could otherwise not be made. If those explanations are useful and the predictions turn out to be correct it strengthens the theory. It does not prove it.
When a theory is proven to be true it is then called a law.

Whose theory of light was correct?
Isaac Newton's theory that light is composed of particles called corpuscles was later proven to be incorrect. James Clerk Maxwell's theory that light is an electromagnetic wave was ultimately validated by experiments and is accepted as the correct explanation for the nature of light.
What one of Albert Einstein's theory was proven correct?
One of Albert Einstein's theories that has been proven correct is the theory of general relativity. This theory describes gravity as a curvature in space and time caused by mass and energy, and it has been confirmed through various experiments and observations, such as the bending of light around massive objects like stars.
Can a theory be proven to be absolutely correct?
It all depends on the standard of "proof". For example if the standard of proof is there has not been found a contradiction, then the theory is absolutely correct until there is found a contradiction, for example the" sun will rise in the east". Another example: if the theory can be expressed mathematically, then mathematical standards of proof can be applied. The mathematical proof may be said to be absolute if it "perfectly" describes the theory. However, there is often a gap between the mathematical model and reality. " Godel's views are helpful here. A theory may not be "internally" provable that it is absolutely correct. For example, certain laws of arithmetic may be correct but not provable within arithmetic but provable by calculus or topology.
Which of these statements is correct concerning the cannon band theory of emotion?
The correct statement concerning the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion is that it proposes that emotional responses occur simultaneously with cognitive appraisal, rather than one causing the other. This theory suggests that both physiological arousal and emotional experience are independent responses to a stimulus.
What would have happened in 1919 if Einstein's theory was not correct?
If Einstein's theory of general relativity was not correct in 1919, it would have likely led to a different understanding of gravity and the structure of space-time. The experimental confirmation of his theory during the solar eclipse of 1919 provided strong evidence for his ideas, which revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Without this validation, the development of modern cosmology and theoretical physics could have taken a different path.
How do you spell the word theory?
The correct spelling is 'theory'.
Which theory do you think is correct?
In order to answer your question we need to know the theory
What is the hypothesis that is accepted as correct?
a theory
How can you prove that this theory is correct?
In science, a theory is, by definition, proven and accepted as fact.
Why is Darwin's theory on animal adaptation a theory and not a law?
Because it can't be proved to be correct, and therefore it is a theory - unproved
How did erikson's theory of development differ from Freud's theory?
All answers are correct
What are facts about the big bang theory is correct?
It expands
Why did some believe Copernicus' theory?
It's correct
How theory and laws related?
A scientific theory is an idea that is supported by a hypothesis. Once the theory is proven to be permanently correct, it is a law or fact.
What is the correct order for the steps of scientific method?
The correct steps for the scientific method are: Observation Hypothesis Theory Scientific Law
What theory is e equals mc?
The correct equation is E = mc2. It's Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
What is a theory called when it is proven to be correct?
A theory is never truly "proven" correct; data can be found time and time again that supports a hypothesis, which may then become a theory, but a theory doesn't really graduate to something else if it "seems" correct. Theories are always being modified as new advancements are made. "Law" (like the law of gravity) is a dated term that essentially equates to a theory in modern science.
