Question

answers:
A media community comes to an agreement on the explanation of the theory being the correct one
A hypothesis or multiple hypotheses have been tested multiple times and keep finding consistent results,
thus they have been accepted as the explanation for an event
A decree from a powerful or charismatic leader determines which explanations are correct
A scientist performs an experiment and the very first results confirm their original hypothesis

Answer 1

The correct procedure by which a valid scientific theory is created is:

A hypothesis or multiple hypotheses have been tested multiple times and keep finding consistent results, thus they have been accepted as the explanation for an event.

This reflects the process of scientific inquiry, where theories emerge from rigorous testing and validation over time.
