Question

Suppose a theory is used to make a prediction. A measurement is carried out to test the prediction. The measurement is found to have a value far larger than the prediction. This means__________-.

Answer 1

Answer:

The theory might have some correct elements but must be adjusted to make consideration for some unforeseen conditions.

Explanation:

For such theory that is still under testing, it is important for the user to note that it might not be accurate for use and hence, there is need to have control experiment to compare the measured value and control value. The difference is then used to make necessary modification to the prediction.
