Developed throughout the early and middle 20th century, the current formulation was finalized in the mid 1970s upon experimental confirmation of the existence of quarks. Since then, discoveries of the bottom quark (1977), the top quark (1995) and the tau neutrino (2000) have given credence to the standard model. Because of its success in explaining a wide variety of experimental results, the standard model is sometimes regarded as a theory of almost everything. Still, the standard model falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions because it does not incorporate the physics of general relativity, such as gravitation and

    sorry about that, apparently youtube doesnt respect the newline character anymore….

    a short list of theories(but they are “just” theories)
    Color theory
    Extreme value theory
    Set theory
    Number theory
    Special relativity theory
    Quantum field theory
    Game theory
    Theory of evolution
    germ theory of disease
    atomic theory
    plate tectonics
    chaos theory
    cell theory

    there are many more of these “theories”, all of them are unproven since as we established before NOTHING in science is ever proven. btw i’m not defending bbt, just the “just a theory” thing….

    “it’s just a theory” makes it sound like something somethought about at 4am after a night of heavy drinking.
    it’s a bit dishonest to dismiss something because it’s “just a theory”
    “Not only is it a theory that hasn’t been completely proven ” can you name ANYTHING that has been complely proven in science? if not then that’s also not a valid reason to just dismiss something…

    @sabin97 Nope, I’m still not confusing theory and hypothesis. But keep thrashing that straw man. And you’re agreeing with me: nothing in science is ever proven.

    @cosmicharlie1970
    nothing in science is ever proven, only in math do you have proof.
    and according to wikipedia:
    A scientific theory comprises a collection of concepts, including abstractions of observable phenomena expressed as quantifiable properties, together with rules (called scientific laws) that express relationships between observations of such concepts.

    i think you might be confusing theory and hypothesis

    @sabin97 I don’t think so. Not only is it a theory that hasn’t been completely proven (ask any physicist), but within the last week some physicists at some atom smasher think they may have found some particle not in the Standard Model. Remember Newton’s Laws of Motion? Yeah, turns out not Laws. And those Laws were clung to with great desperation by many people when Einstein came along. Also, physicists will tell you Einstein’s theories can’t be the final answer – can’t.

    “and it’s merely a theory.” i think you might be confusing theory(scientific theory) and hypothesis.

    @philowenify

    “We’ve been looking at the remnant light from the Big Bang (CMB) since the 1960′s. It’s not called into question by anyone in the scientific community.”

    Scientists base knowledge on empirical evidence, IE things that one can sense and experience. The fact that no one in the scientific community does not question it is not reason enough to claim that it’s true, even if it is.

    @absolutroot dont feed the trolls, adzii1 is an epic failure. but, how can you say the he failed to understand god? i mean, i dont think putting god in science is ironic. you need extra ordinary proofs for extra ordinary beliefs dont you think?

    Plasma is created in black holes as matter is accelerated to almost the speed of light as it falls into it. Dark matter is the byproduct of the matter that falls into black holes, and the big bang released this dark matter which would be QGP back into our universe. The ultimate form of recycling. So matter has always been their it’s just changing from one form to another.

    @philowenify What evidence supports the Big Bang theory besides the CMB and the expansion of the Universe? I’m pretty sure lots of people in the scientific community question the Big Bang, because they’re scientists, and it’s merely a theory. Agreement, consensus, in science proves nothing – see e.g., global warming. The Big Bang is not a joke, but it’s not writ in stone, either. I think it’s the best explanation, but I’m certainly open to others, as are most scientists.
