No theory is ever proven Wow. Just....just...just, damn.
Einstein. What a moron, eh?
How do you get from one to the other?
Just because Einsteins theory of relativity will never be “proven” doesn't make him a moron. His theory is highly useful in explaining and predicting physical phenomena and is more accurate than the theories it refined; Newton's theories of motion.
If something in science was determined to be “proven”, then when contradictory evidence arises, what is to be done with it?
Everything in science is accepted provisionally, awaiting conflicting or refining data.
That is simply how science works. Something that those who reject science and the scientific method are apparently unwilling to attempt to understand.
No scientific is proven. Not the theory of gravity, not the theories of light (there are at least two of those), no theory is ever proven. Gravity can easily be observed locally, drop a baseball and it will fall downward in a predicted path at a predicted velocity but when the theory is used on a larger scale (think stellar) the theory gets very fuzzy. Is light a particle or pure energy? As far as science knows light cannot be both but different experiments can prove either conclusion. All scientific conclusions are approximate, not exact. I am a college math professor. Get ready for this. All math is based on theorems. Theorems are only ‘proved’ by using postulates which are mathematical assumptions on how mathematicians think numbers work. When beginning college math students realize that the ‘proof’ for all their previous math is fuzzy, it is usually a jaw dropping moment.
