Theories as to the cause of the event, meanwhile, are becoming more substantial and coherent.

Theories put forward suggest a great storm or tidal wave was the cause and indeed many of the remains appear to have been swept along the sediment, some losing limbs on the way.

Theories are improved ( or replaced by better theories ) as more evidence is gathered, so that accuracy in prediction improves over time ; this increased accuracy corresponds to an increase in scientific knowledge.

Theories are that he feared the Rump was trying to perpetuate itself as the government, or that the Rump was preparing for an election which could return an anti-Commonwealth majority.

Models that do not unify all interactions using one simple Lie group as the gauge symmetry, but do so using semisimple groups, can exhibit similar properties and are sometimes referred to as Grand Unified Theories as well.

Theories about them have to rely on a preponderance of other evidence, which alone are not solid enough to warrant much conclusiveness.

Theories on consolidation are supported by concussion studies.

Theories of universals, including Platonic realism, are challenged to satisfy certain constraints on theories of universals.

Theories that place a great deal of emphasis on learning are often, but not always, more optimistic than theories that do not emphasize learning.

Theories are analytical tools for understanding, explaining, and making predictions about a given subject matter.

Theories in various fields of study are expressed in natural language, but are always constructed in such a way that their general form is identical to a theory as it is expressed in the formal language of mathematical logic.

Theories may be expressed mathematically, symbolically, or in common language, but are generally expected to follow principles of rational thought or logic.

Theories used in applications are abstractions of observed phenomena and the resulting theorems provide solutions to real-world problems.

Theories are distinct from theorems.

Theories are abstract and conceptual, and to this end they are always considered true.

Theories whose subject matter consists not in empirical data, but rather in ideas are in the realm of philosophical theories as contrasted with scientific theories.

He later regarded it as a flawed exposition of his logical system, and wanted An Investigation of the Laws of Thought ( 1854 ), on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities to be seen as the mature statement of his views.

Theories which claim that morality is derived from reasoning about implied imperatives ( universal prescriptivism ), the edicts of a god ( divine command theory ), or the hypothetical decrees of a perfectly rational being ( ideal observer theory ), are considered anti-realist in the robust sense used here, but are considered realist in the sense synonymous with moral universalism.

Theories of nucleosynthesis are tested by calculating isotope abundances and comparing with observed results.

Theories denying or belittling the supernatural order, are historically classified into three groups:

Theories have been proposed that these figures are connected to valkyries.

Theories of creativity ( particularly investigation of why some people are more creative than others ) have focused on a variety of aspects.

Theories invoking divergent rather than convergent thinking ( such as Guilford ), or those describing the staging of the creative process ( such as Wallas ) are primarily theories of creative process.

Theories in physics like the Butterfly effect from chaos theory open up the possibility of a type of distributed parameter systems in causality.

A slightly larger count ( but still better than split radix for N ≥ 256 ) was shown to be provably optimal for N ≤ 512 under additional restrictions on the possible algorithms ( split-radix-like flowgraphs with unit-modulus multiplicative factors ), by reduction to a Satisfiability Modulo Theories problem solvable by brute force ( Haynal & Haynal, 2011 ).

Theories contend that during complex learning activities the amount of information and interactions that must be processed simultaneously can either under-load, or overload the finite amount of working memory one possesses.

Both in Das Kapital and in Theories of Surplus-Value, Marx devoted a considerable amount of attention to the concept of " productive and unproductive labour ".

Theories more favorable to corporate activities may be praised using the term " sound science ".

Theories have been proposed that Víðarr's silence may derive from a ritual silence or other abstentions which often accompany acts of vengeance, as for example in Völuspá and Baldrs draumar when Váli, conceived for the sole purpose of avenging Baldr's death, abstains from washing his hands and combing his hair " until he brought Baldr's adversary to the funeral pyre ".

Theories about the origin of the city's name suggest that it may be a corruption of the Spanish la virgen, after the nearby Virgin River, or possibly an error in the transcription of the term " beaver skin.

Theories have abounded, including some which suggest it may indicate the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, an idea fuelled by the Anson family's ancestral ties to the Knights Templar.

Theories are supported by evidence from many different sources, and may contain one or several laws.

Theories, some of them rather bizarre, abound: some contemporary scholars suggest, for example, that the persona may be a woman ; if so, the strangulation could stem from frustration with the world.

Theories and practices of folk medicine may influence, or be influenced by, the formalized medicine systems of the same culture.

Theories have been proposed that this description may have some relation to notions of the Jordan River due to phonetic and typological similarities perceived by Eilífr, though there may be no other causative connection.

Theories of truth may be described according to several dimensions of description that affect the character of the predicate " true ".

Theories may be of following kind:

Theories explicitly identifying Hell with an experience of the divine light may go back as far as Theophanes of Nicea.

For a person in an exchange, what he gives may be a cost to him, just as what he gets may be a reward, and his behavior changes less as the difference of the two, profit, tends to a maximum (" Theories Used in Research ").

Sunstein co-authored a 2008 paper with Adrian Vermeule, titled " Conspiracy Theories ," dealing with the risks and possible government responses to false conspiracy theories resulting from " cascades " of faulty information within groups that may ultimately lead to violence.

Such an agreement may be interpreted as an experimentally confirmed qualitative prediction of Grand Unified Theories.

Theories at this level may both reflect and provide insights useful for practice but are not designed for empirical testing.

Theories with asymptotic safety may be well defined at all scales despite being nonrenormalizable in perturbative sense ( according to the classical scaling dimensions ).
