Is it possible to prove, for certain, that a scientific theory is true?
A) Yes, by means of a single confirmed experiment that verifies the theory.
B) Yes, by carrying out a sufficient number of experimental observations.
C) Yes, by deducing it logically from other scientific theories that are known to be true.
D) No, because it is always possible that a future experiment will disagree with the theory.
E) No, because of the experimental error, or uncertainty, that is always present in any experimental result.

C) nature is inherently uncertain.
D) forces such as gravity and the electromagnetic force can be felt even at a distance.
