[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 77683317, member: 375234"] If by 'valid' you mean they survived observational tests, then 'no' -- very many have been shown invalid through observations and tests. So, there are 3 classes of theories in that regard: A) those that have been proven false by observations, B) those that haven't yet been disproven nor in any way yet supported by any observations that make them seem more likely than other competing theories, and finally, C) theories that have been supported in extensive observations in ways that make them seem more likely correct (or correct so far to date, if not yet ascertained to fully apply in every possible future scenario) and thus clearly more reliable/valid than other competing theories that apply to their same subject but don't have such observational support.
