String Theory Fitting Observations

Theories are evolving, and need time to become complete or abolished by observations. Many theories have been proposed over time that were false or partially false, and scientists with better tools and ideas enhance them, or prove them incorrect. The Theory of Relativity and the Standard Model explain the forces of the small and the large. When put together, the theories contrasted at the atomic level. Both of these theories have been proved by extensive experiments and, when left alone, make sense. The String Theory was proposed after both of these theories, and tied them together. The String Theory was better fit for the theory of the universe because it included gravity and the forces of the small explained in the Standard Model. The only problem is that there are no observations to prove it. From what the String Theory says, it will fit the observations of both theories better than the theories themselves do and fit a wider spectrum of observations. If scientists can find experiments that tie the String Theory to the ideas of both the Standard Model and the Theory of Relativity, the String Theory would be the ultimate example of a theory being able to fit observations better than an original theory and covering more observations than the original theory

Two Theories of Multiple Intelligence

A theory will never be proven, and is subject to change because new observations can be collected that do not support the original theory. In this case, Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence is the original theory. Howard Gardner’s extensive research proved that there are seven types of intelligences, and it is possible that they work together while a person is solving something. Gardner’s theory is well supported and is used by many as a guide to learning, but that does not mean it is set in stone. His theory could change, and recently, Dan Willingham reviewed studies of learning styles and did not find evidence that supported learning styles. This would be a major shift in the theory, but Willingham is presenting a strong argument. He found that students liked a variety of way to learn because it isn’t boring, so students will learn more. He also stated that finding similarities instead of differences in learning style would be beneficial, which practically removes the idea of a learning style. This new argument has enough key points to be considered a new theory. Theories, like Gardner’s theory, can change when new evidence is brought up in the scientific community.
