Gotta love this simple fool. He is in there keeping Getbig honest. I mean, let's talk about theories. SF has a theory about my theory. So what is the test of truth of his theory?
Yes, my theory about your "theory" is that your "theory" is shit. I don't need to test my theory. All I need to do is look at the evidence, or lack of evidence related to your theory, and say its garbage. Until your "theory" has evidence, it is nothing more than a bunch of ideas. I don't need to do anything else. I am not one making the claim.
I have published my theory and presented it several times on various discussion boards including Getbig. If the resident experts can't fathom what it is about then that is
You have not published jackshit. You have presented your "theory." Though, I am skeptical about that. Do not use the word published.
Tu Holmes. I have a masters degree in the philosophy of science so should know how to use words like theory. Theory, conjecture, hypothesis are all related.
Um, no. A theory is not the same thing as a hypothesis, you nimrod. Is the "Theory of Gravity" a conjecture or hypothesis? Is "Germ Theory" a conjecture or hypothesis? No. A THEORY in the scientific sense is not merely a conjecture or hypothesis. It is a proven, demonstrated observable phenomena that can be retested with similar conclusions. That goes BEYOND a conjecture or hypothesis.
From The National Center for Science Education. As you can see, two different definitions, you nimrod.
Hypothesis: A tentative statement about the natural world leading to deductions that can be tested. If the deductions are verified, the hypothesis is provisionally corroborated. If the deductions are incorrect, the original hypothesis is proved false and must be abandoned or modified. Hypotheses can be used to build more complex inferences and explanations.
Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.
