Haug's concept was subsequently disseminated as a Parsi interpretation, thus corroborating Haug's theory and the idea became so popular that it is now almost universally accepted as doctrine.

Chaos theory has been so surprising because chaos can be found within almost trivial systems.

Although the aether is almost stationary according to Fresnel, his theory predicts a positive outcome of aether drift experiments only to second order in, because Fresnel's dragging coefficient would cause a negative outcome of all optical experiments capable of measuring effects to first order in.

Work in set theory showed that almost all ordinary mathematics can be formalized in terms of sets, although there are some theorems that cannot be proven in common axiom systems for set theory.

* Intertheoretic reduction, in philosophy of science, one theory makes predictions that perfectly or almost perfectly match the predictions of a second theory

The SCSI standard defines command sets for specific peripheral device types ; the presence of " unknown " as one of these types means that in theory it can be used as an interface to almost any device, but the standard is highly pragmatic and addressed toward commercial requirements.

Darwin had his basic theory of natural selection " by which to work " by December 1838, yet almost twenty years later, when Wallace's letter arrived on 18 June 1858, Darwin was still not ready to publish his theory.

This theory states that a memory is sometimes temporarily forgotten purely because it cannot be retrieved, but the proper cue can bring it to mind.

The space M × C is compactified over the compact set C, and after Kaluza-Klein decomposition we have an effective field theory over M. A splitting of five-dimensional spacetime into the Einstein equations and Maxwell equations in four dimensions was first discovered by Gunnar Nordström in 1914, in the context of his theory of gravity, but subsequently forgotten.

: In " Analysis of the Journey ," a journal birthed from postmodernism, Kellner insists that the " assumptions and procedures of modern theory " must be forgotten.

The group based form of organization design proposed by sociotechnical theory combined with new technological possibilities ( such as the internet ) provide a response to this often forgotten issue, one that contributes significantly to joint optimisation.
