Default Need opinions for theory.

@s8g2000prg.googlegroups.com:

But these news groups are great for testing out different ways of
explaining problems to see what works best.Even a good theory if it
cant be clearly explained so that both experts and hobbyist can
understand it, will probably go nowhere.
This is really nice of you to help its well appreciated thanks.
Got any ideas on what its a theory of.

These News Groups are Great for getting flamed and getting an occasional
useful idea.
As for what you have a theory of, at the moment you don't have a theory of
anything.

It might be called a tentative idea of a conjecture of an inkling of
something that might be worked into a theory someday.

Remember, a theory
1) allows you to predict the results of experiments that have not yet been
run.
2) is consistent with all known experimental data within its scope.
3) can be falsified. That is the theory can be disproved IF the results
that experiment mentioned in '1' are 'wrong' (different than the theory
predicts).

The third condition is important because in science a theory can never be
proved but one (reproducible) experiment can disprove it.

So, if you can not state your theory in a form that is testable, it isn't a
theory.

Good luck in your studies.
