So is it elementary or is it scientific jargon? You just said it was elementary, so I went by the elementary definition of scientific theory. You're right, I didn't know the difference between theory and theorem, and I wasn't even aware that theorem had standard usage outside of mathematics.

And your quote:

Quote:
I think more effort ought to go into the formation of hypothesis and the conclusion speculated before testing is done. I feel the Scientific community has become entirely too relaxed, going by the current vein of projects.
You should have said that in the first place, rather than claiming that any testing of a more speculative hypothesis "circumvents the scientific process." That's where the argument started.

It's Elementary Scientific Jargon! Hooray for compromise!

Newtons gravity thing is a law not a theory I believe. A law is more certain than a theory, and as far as I know, there are no scientific laws outside of physics and chemistry.

A law is more basic than a theory. A theory is a modifyable, descriptive model of complex phenomena. A law is a descriptive model of something basic and irrefutable such as a mathematic equation. The law of gravity is F(g) = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2. All scientific laws can be stated as mathematical formulae, if I'm not mistaken.

You're not. Mathematics is the language of nature

So much so that guys, like Pythagoras, made a religion (or at least a cult) out of it.
