What is the best reason for the scientific community to accept a theory?
a hypothesis
The theory is supported by all the available observations and data.
hypothesis
A theory is supported by more data and observations than a hypothesis is.
Try to repeat the data from the experiment.
A law describes natural phenomena, but a theory explains why those phenomena occur.
based on scientific data
Revise her hypothesis, and then retest it.
