Its hard to deal complain on this section rod...

That doesn't mean you can go on breaking the forum rules just because you want to complain. So now, after this post, any other post you make that has any hint of complaint against how I run this subforum will earn you an infraction.

balik na ta sa topic. bitaw sa kadum2x kos istorya sa ao maestra sauna ba, if kron sakto (fact) ang usa ka butang, nya nag exam mo dayun sayup imu answer wala ka kapasar, then after sometime nautro ang sakto(fact). murag unfair no? pero lagi kay ang grado gibasi man sa unsay imung nasabtan anang panahona wqa tay mahims. usahay man gud para nko kita mga tao kay naay dako nga tendency nga if ang theory kay medyo dugay na, ato na lang dawaton as fact.

i know there are other credible examples lying around.
sooner or later, especially with the advancement in technology, a few scientific facts will turn out to be wrong.

Technology never stops. Para ra man jud ni sa kaayohan sa tanan.

facts lead to 2 ways

disprove theories
prove theories ---> Laws

After browsing another thread in this section about facts and theories, something came into my mind.
Well, this might be a nonsense question pero wala man tingali dautan kung i-post ni nako diri.

I may even receive an infraction for this but anyway wa pa man sad ko kasuway dawat infraction at least maka-experience ko.

Regarding scientific facts, is it possible that sometime in the future it will be withdrawn and considered as theory?
If yes, how many scientific facts will soon be considered as theories and not facts?
That something which has been established as fact for a long long time turns out to be wrong?

Is it possible that these things that we are so firm at believing in our discussions here will turn out to be theories and not facts as what we have believed in?

To make myself clear, I will cite an example.

Here in istorya, we have different opinions, views and beliefs.
At some point the discussions turn into debates because we can't agree on the same thing.
I won't talk about conspiracy theories here to be safe.
Even though you guys have different opinions about specific conspiracy theories especially the moon landing, I'll just leave it as is.
Whether it's a fact or a myth, it's up to you to decide after reading this post.

Let's take for example... Pluto.

For how many years it has been considered as one of the nine planets.
Nobody can disagree about that, we all agree.
All scientific calculations and experimentation and studies arrive to a single conclusion that it is indeed a planet.
Extensive research and observations were done to establish the fact that it is a planet.

Then suddenly, we were told that it was not.

Textbooks and reference materials have to be edited.
All previous publications have to be rewritten.

My point is, maybe we so strongly defend our stand about something and then it turns out to be something else.

reply lang ko bai, i dont know if this will help.

Theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory"

So a Theory is not a tag-na tag-na, nor it is an opposite to fact. Theory is a pre-requisite to Facts.

Some forumers especially sa GenDisc Section pagka wagtang sa SnO, they will always say "THEORY rana bai, di na tinood", which only shows they never understand what the word is all about.
