Scientific Theory
Scientific theories provide tested explanations that shape our understanding of the natural world
29 Jan 2026

What distinguishes a scientific theory from a hypothesis in scientific practice?
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation supported by extensive evidence, while a hypothesis is a tentative, testable prediction.
A scientific theory is just a guess, whereas a hypothesis is a proven fact.
A scientific theory cannot be tested, but a hypothesis can be tested through experiments.

Falsifiability
Falsifiability defines science by requiring theories to be testable and disprovable
19 Jan 2026
0
Why did Karl Popper emphasize falsifiability as a solution to the problem of demarcation in science?
Because it proves that all scientific theories are absolutely true and cannot be questioned.
Because it shows that scientific theories do not need empirical evidence to be accepted.
Because it provides a clear criterion to distinguish scientific theories from non-scientific ones based on their testability and potential to be disproven.

Empirical Falsification
Empirical falsification ensures scientific theories remain testable and open to revision
18 Jan 2026
0
Why is empirical falsification considered a stronger criterion for scientific theories than verification?
Because it proves theories to be absolutely true through repeated experiments.
Because it requires that theories be testable and potentially disprovable, preventing confirmation bias.
Because it relies solely on theoretical reasoning without the need for experimental evidence.
