Shoot, there was one very clever one, but I haven't got enough space here to describe it.

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.


A theory is an accepted explanation of an observed phenomenon until?

Until observations and experiments conflict with the theory


Was Nicolaus Copernicus famous during life or death?

He was a Polish clergy member who suggested the theory of the sun being the universe (heliocentric theory) instead of the Earth being the center (geocentric theory). I believe he is famous after death, since he did not publish his findings and date information about the heavens until the last year of his life, in fear of the Catholic Church damning him to purgatory for questioning their authority and belief of the geocentric theory.

Why is it difficult to determine the precise findings of Pythagoras?

Because Pythagoras was unknown until he became famous for his findings of mathematics. He was determined to find out more.. and he started to get more ideas for his findings of more mathematical problems and findings answers for those problems.


Why-despite its usefulness in proving mathematical and geometrical problems-the pythagorean theorem remains just a theorem?

This theory sometimes yields non-terminating decimals, due to the square root function. These results are not exact. The uncertainty of these inexact results proves that: The equation, in its present form, is not accurate enough to be considered a scientific law. So it will remain a theory until it can be adjusted to eliminate these inaccuracies.
