Theory

A set of interacting, interlocking, or independent principles designed to account for a wide range of observations or facts.


An argument which explains a scientific fact.


A statement that best explains all the available evidence on a given topic. If evidence that contradicts the theory becomes available, the theory must be abandoned, modified, or changed to incorporate it. When a theory becomes generally accepted and firmly established, it may be called a doctrine or principle.
