Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

Scientific theory:

An explanation that best explains observable facts and has been rigorously tested

It is a widely accepted explanation of some phenomena supported by a large amount of experimental data, but it can be shown to be incorrect by a single experiment which yields results which contradict it.

The concept of the scientific theory includes the observation of the data and facts,in order to obtain a statement,which is acceptable as a theory
