The topic that I have decided to write about today is the
scientific theory. The scientific theory is “a well-substantiated explanation
of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws,
inferences, and tested hypotheses.” The scientific theory is very important
because it explains some parts of the natural world hat a lot of people don’t
know about. Scientists, however cannot prove anything with the scientific
method because it is an inductive process. Things cannot prove that a theory is
correct or incorrect. Theories cannot be proved right or wrong so they stand
correct until proven wrong and so far it has worked. An example of this would
be the theory of relativity. People need to begin tests by forming hypotheses
and then testing them to explore their hypothesis. The steps of the scientific
method are all necessary to correctly research an idea or hypothesis. “The
scientific definition of a term is generally a theoretical or operational definition.”
