Question Rethinking…Classification of Scientific Theory

Theory is an essential idiom that cannot be absent in any science forums.
However, almost members of these forums have a tendency that support for a theory, which they thought it is a best theory rather than try to find out some disadvantage of this theory. In its definition, theory is not the truth and then the theory must have some disadvantages beside a lot of its advantages. Therefore, there is not "The Best Theory" because each theory having its special value that another theory cannot have. "The Best Theory" just is a relative name that all members of any science forums should accepted it in their debates.

There are so many theories around the world, but these theories should be classified into two styles as following:
1/ Independent Theory: Shows some fundamental theories such as Quantum Theory (Max Planck, 1900), Relativity Theory (Albert Einstein, 1905), and Unified Field Theory (Albert Einstein, 1920).
2/ Dependent Theory: Shows some theories that are a combination of independent theories such as Theory of Everything (TOE), and The Final Theory (TFT). TOE is a combination between both of Quantum, Relativity Theory while it recognizing some ideas of Unified Field Theory with Grand Unification Theories (GUTs). TFT is a combination between both of Quantum, Relativity Theory while it rejecting the value of Unified Field Theory.

In principle, Dependent Theory will be corrupted if one of its Independent Theories false; therefore, Independent Theory would be an important theory of science rather than Dependent Theory. Independent Theories may be related together by three ways:
a/ Opposition: Unified Field Theory versus Quantum Theory.
b/ Collaborator: Relativity Theory allied itself to Quantum Theory.
c/ Improvement: Unified Field Theory is an upgrade of Relativity Theory.

Which others style of theory do you think more?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
