Why is the theory of relativity accepted by scientists?
Like all accepted scientific theories, there is a general consensus amongst scientists across the world that there is enough evidence from observation and experimentation to support it.
Why do scientists believe that the universe began with an explosion?
Because the theory fits all the evidence so far. There are still difficulties with it and more questions need to be answered but it seems to be the best theory at present.
Which theory allows physical scientists to quantify or measure things like energy?
quantum theory
What evidence led Dalton to propose his atomic theory?
There was no concrete evidence that led Dalton to propose his atomic theory. He proposed this theory based on logical explanations about the behavior of elements, gases or materials.
Why is Einstein's theory of relativity an improvement on Newton's theory of gravity?
It will be replaced by a new theory when enough evidence is collected
What is the theory that all the scientists provided evidence for the cell theory?
For their own benefits.
If new evidence does not support a scientific theory scientists will most likely?
modify the theory or discard it altogether.
Who were the two scientists that brought forth supporting evidence to wegener's theory?
me and your mom
When would scientists need to change a theory?
Scientists had made observations that did not fit exactly with Dalton's theory. Scientists changed the atomic theory to include this new knowledge. While the modern atomic theory is based on Dalton's theory, it is also very different.
How long was it before new evidence emerged to support wegener's original theory?
In the 1960's scientists uncovered new evidence that seemed to support Wegener's theory.
Why did other scientists question the theory of plate tectonics?
At the time when this theory was a-brewing, it was difficult to provide conclusive data and evidence.
Why were most scientists disagreeing with Alfred Wegeners continental drift theory?
There was no evidence to prove it
What is the primary source of evidence proposed by scientists to support the theory of an ancient Earth?
Fossils.
Why was wegener's theory not accepted by all scientists?
Wegner's theory was not accept because he didn't have much evidence to support his theory with and scientists thought that there might have been a land bridge between the continents. Another reason to why his theory was rejected was that he was a foreigner, by that; the scientists didn't really take him seriously.
Although Dalton's atomic theory was rejected at first he used his theory to do what that soon resulted in his theory being accepted by scientists?
Instead of just stating his own personal opinions John Dalton cited evidence to support his atomic theory. The giving of evidence - which could be proved or disproved by others - was what soon resulted in his theory being accepted by scientists.
Do you think it's wise for scientists not to accept a theory immediately even if the theory has a lot of evidence to support it?
Each scientists have there own opinion. Some accept theories and some have to have facts.
Why was wegeners theory so different?
Wegener's theory of continental drift is supported by a vast quantity of evidence, which is why scientists have accepted it.
