What is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly and rigorously tested and supported?
The hypothesis which has been tested and verified repeatedly by tests is called theory.
What is an idea that has been tested repeatedly and gains acceptence?
A theory.
What do you call hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence?
A theory. If it has been proven and is replicatable, it is a fact.
What is a conjuncture in math?
In maths, a conjuncture is a theory or statement which is most likely true but not yet proven.
How is a hypotheseis different from a theory?
A theory has been proven and has lots of data to back it up while a hypothesis is simply an educated guess that has some data to back it up.
What do you call a concept that has not been proven or disproven yet?
A theory
What does a hypothesis become after it is tested and proven?
A hypothesis, or group of hypotheses, that is accepted as consistently valid is a theory. Either a hypothesis or a theory can be ultimately disproven. One definition of a theory is an accepted hypothesis.
Is one God theory correct?
It is a theory that can't be scientifically proven or disproven. As a theory, it's a belief or principle that guides the people who believe in it. One God is as good a theory as any other and by far the most widely accepted.
What evidence was there to prove that the phlogiston pheory was correct?
The phlogiston theory was proven incorrect through experiments that showed the production of ashes when substances burned, contradicting the theory that burning releases phlogiston. Additionally, the discovery of oxygen and its role in combustion provided a more accurate explanation for the process.
Can a scientific theory ever be disproven?
Yes
Can theories be proven?
Well yeah. Its called a theory because it wasn't proven right yet. Once proven right, its called a fact.
What are facts proving the Big bang theory?
If it was proven it wouldn't be called a "theory"
What is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly and rigorously tested and supported?
The hypothesis which has been tested and verified repeatedly by tests is called theory.
What term is defined as an idea accepted as most likely true because is supported by a lot of evidence?
Theory. (a hypothesis is an idea that may be the answer to some question but has not yet been rigorously tested and thus has not yet reached 'theory' status) Theories may be disproven, but that is very unusual, most of the time hypothesis that are disproven through testing never make it to the theoretical stage. For example, while evolution is called a theory, it is widely accepted in science as something that has been rigorously tested and examined, and proven to be true beyond any doubt. There are some accepted 'laws' in science but that is seen in physics or math.
What are some words that mean the opposite of theory?
A theorem is an unproven statement; a proven statement is a fact. A theory is a set of theorems; a theory which has been proven can be called a law or a rule.
What is the difference in theory and scientific law?
A scientific law is an indisputable fact: there are no observances dictating it. For example, gravity is a scientific law. A scientific theory is simply a generally accepted explanation for a particular phenomenon or idea that cannot currently be proven or disproven. The structure of the atom and evolution are theories.
Can theories be disproven?
Yes, theories can be disproven if evidence is found that directly contradicts their predictions or explanations. This is a fundamental part of the scientific method, where theories are continuously tested and revised based on new evidence.
