Why Science Will Triumph Only When Theory Becomes Law


In many cases, science involves theories that may not be physically proved under most circumstances. However, it is very clear to me that a scientific career is a comprehensive endeavor and requires focus and dedication. To appreciate science, a person needs to have an open mind and be receptive to the efforts of scientists to explain events that occurred million of years ago. The only way that we can understand our universe is through science.  Clive Thompson writes persuasively that science theories are not taking seriously because we misunderstood the word “theory”. The general meaning of “theory” is an idea but in the science field, a “theory” is a concept that requires an extensive research commitment. Some scientists believe that they should modify their lexicon to reflect this distinction.  For example, the theory of the evolution should be the law of the evolution. In any event, the universe should be explored to unravel its many mysteries. If a people do not trust academic knowledge, they are always free to conduct their own independent investigation.
