the scientific definiton
not common def
Sassy you are literally using inference to the best explanation principles to realize that, which is the basis of science!
wut
fran give me a sec
ok
I'm just explaining what science is since you clearly know nothing about it
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world.
Did it go over your head?
snort has no idea what he is talking about
don't fret too much
alright maybe I was the wrong word
I meant theorem
proven facts
theorem is a mathematical term
then its theory
no one says 'physical theorem'
there are two defs of theory
scientific and normal
I'm using the scientific
yeah the scientific definitions is "A hypothesis we have very high confidence in"
no it isnt
Yes it is
No
the bar for very high is: Peer review, Fits with background data, predicts other phenomena, ect
we proved our facts with equations
This is a 'theory'
It has to have observational and mathematical proof in order to be a true theory
You don't prove anything with your equations, they are substantiated about other presumed axioms
equations that you plug variables into and solve
But theory is just our best approximation
not for all theories
Presumed axioms we only have high degrees of empirical confidence in because we can't be certain about their truths
but for some
like acceleration
some parts of science aren't completely proved
It’d be hard pressed to get any real scientific community agree with your theory if it has no mathematical proof
BUT we don't base our ideas off of that unless it's just pure speculation
you need the empirical evidence after the equations that can predict your guess, it should be very precise
what we're talking about now isnt speculation
