What else can I help you with?
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?
Yes. If you have a theory about how things work, it might turn out to be true or it might turn out to be false. The more you know about the subject, the stronger the theory is likely to be, and the likelier it is that the theory will be proven.
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.
Can you provide an example of a falsifiable theory?
An example of a falsifiable theory is the idea that all swans are white. This theory can be proven false by finding a single black swan.
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.
A statement of belief or feeling that cannot be proven true or false?
Ah, a statement like that is like a happy little cloud floating in the sky - you can't quite touch it, but you can feel its presence. It's like painting a beautiful sunset - you may not be able to prove its beauty, but you can certainly feel it in your heart. Embrace those feelings, my friend, and let them guide you on your own unique artistic journey.
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.
Do definitions need to be proven?
False. Definitions do not need to be proven.
True or False Empirical evidence always trumps theory. Give a reason for your answer.?
If your issues are on the table, then it would be apparent that empirical evidence would trump theory, if the theory on the table were not proven to be true. If the theory were proven to be true, and the empirical evidence does not agree with the theory, then more experimentation would be necessary to determine the validity of the theory.
