A statement of belief or feeling that cannot be proven true or false?
false A statement of belief or feeling that cannot be proven true or false is a theory. This too is false, since a theory can be proven true or false through experimentation. I believe the word you are looking for is 'opinion'.
True or false A theory is a hypothesis that has been proven true?
false
What do you call ideas that haven't been proven false?
a theory
Can a theory be true or false?
A theory can't be definitively proven true or false. It can only be supported or refuted by evidence and testing. The goal of a theory is to provide the best possible explanation of a phenomenon based on current knowledge and evidence.
What is a theory that has never been proven false?
The theory of general relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, has not been proven false. It has been extensively tested and has accurately predicted various phenomena such as gravitational lensing and the existence of black holes.
Why is the big bang theory call theory?
It is called a theory because that is precisely what it is. It is not called a theory because it 'isn't real'. Evidence is still coming in, and over the next few generations there will be a more solid sense that it is either NOT a good working model of the universe we observe, or it IS a good working model. As is true of any basic theory, it may one day be over-turned and another model will take its place. Edit: To add to the point made above - Germ Theory is still a "Theory". Although it has not been proven false, nor do we expect it to, so its assumed to be true. Same with gravity, General Relativity is only a theory, but its not been proven false, nor do we expect it to. That is how science works. Nothing is ever proven true. Theories can only be proven false and when theories stand up to rigorous testing and competition and are not able to be proven false, they then become accepted as being true. Theory of Evolution being a great example. We now know evolution is fact, but the Theory of Evolution is our attempt to describe the process of evolution and the theory.....itself....is still evolving.
Can a scientific theory be incorrect?
"Can a theory be proven incorrect?" absolutely, even after it has been successfully proven a "good scientific theory" (proven as in experimented, documented, tested ect...... )The theory itself can be retested and then also be proven to be incorrect. Such as subtle changes in the environment of which the study was tested can alter the results to be give a true or false outcome. Thus, in my opinion much of the reasoning behind the statement nothing in the World is absolutely 100%.
Must a scientific theory be testable and capable of being proven false?
Yes. Scientific theories, hypotheses or more generally conjectures must be testable capable of being proved false.
How does a theory different from law?
A law is something that is said to be true and is a establised int the science community already. A theory is something that a scientist has come up with that hasnt been proven true or false.
True or False Empirical evidence always trumps theory. Give a reason for your answer.?
False. Empirical evidence and theory often complement each other in the scientific process. Theory helps guide the interpretation of empirical data, while empirical evidence can support, refine, or challenge existing theories. Both are essential in advancing scientific understanding.
Is all science theory?
Science is knowledge. Theories are tested for veracity (truthfullness) and if they are found to be true and cannot be proven false they become the body of science.
Because ideas about evolution by natural selection have never been proven false what term can be used to describe a evolution by natural selection?
Scientific theory
