Document Summary

Note, theories are not required to make large advancements in knowledge; often, science advances in many small steps building on previous findings from other scientists. In this way, it is a very collaborative endeavor: a theory that has been tested and proven correct over and over again, it is written down and called a law (this doesn"t necessarily mean it"s 100% correct). 1. 2: scientific notation is crucial in physics, multiplying two numbers in scientific notation is written in the form, dividing two numbers in scientific notation is written in the form.
