What two things must a theory do?

A theory must provide an explanation for an observation and be reinforced by observational data and experimentation.


How is the validity of scientic theory tested?

Scientific Theory is tested by observations and experiments predicted by the theory. If the observations confirm the theory the theory is validated if not the theory is not validated. Experiments themselves need validation, often there are errors in the experiments or observations, e.g Michaelson and Morley Aether experiment and red shift observations.


What determines whether a model theory or law is valid?

A model theory or law is considered valid if it accurately describes and predicts phenomena in a specific context, can be consistently tested and verified through experimentation or observation, and has stood up to scrutiny and peer review within the scientific community. Additionally, it should have practical utility and be able to make reliable and reproducible predictions.


Which is not a result of scientific theory?

Personal beliefs or opinions are not a result of scientific theory. Scientific theories are based on empirical evidence and reasoning, not on subjective views or perspectives.


How are scientific theories made?

Scientific theories are developed through a process of observation, experimentation, and analysis. Scientists gather data to form hypotheses, which are then tested to determine if they are valid. Over time, as more evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it may be elevated to the status of a theory.

How do you define theory?

In the general, every day sense of the word a theory is a supposition, a hunch or a speculation. It is unproven.A Scientific Theory is completely different from an every day theory. A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis that has been supported with repeated testing and with facts that can be observed and/or measured. With that support a hypothesis moves to the next step in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Facts are the framework for the scientific method and a Scientific Theory is supported by facts.


What is a scientic theory?

A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step; known as a theory; in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.


What is a hypothesis that has been tested over and over again?

A scientific theory is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested and still seems to be valid. These theories are tested by using the scientific method.


Does scientific method have to be controlled in order to be valid?

No, the scientific method can be uncontrolled to for it to be valid.


A scientific theory is .?

You needn't a scientific definition for it. Theory is something waiting to be proved in the future that it was not a theory in the past. It was a valid idea. However, if you want to go deeper on this issue, there is a link right below.


What is the difference a scientific theory and a scientific law?

A scientific theory is an explanation of some natural phenomenon. A scientific law is a succinct statement of some aspect of a scientific theory.
