How does the scientific meaning of theory differ from the common vernacular? a, in science, a theory is a hypothesis that needs to be tested, that people call it a guess.
00:13
B, in science, a theory has been proven correct, while people use it to mean a statement has not been verified.
00:20
C, in science, a theory is a thoroughly tested set of explanations, but people use it to mean a guess.
00:27
Or d, a scientific theory is a guess, but people use it to mean a guess, but people use it to mean, a statement based in fact.
00:33
Okay, so the big thing here is what do we mean by theory in science? so a theory is heavily supported, and it explains observations, and explains observations.
00:51
So those are the important things to know about scientific theories.
00:55
One thing that's very important not to say is that it's proven correct.
00:58
So b is wrong, because theories are not proven correct...
