How to use "Theoretical" in context?
research
There is no perfect way to conduct scientific research. Every experiment has potential flaws that can invalidate the results, and researchers must constantly decide which risks to take in order to unveil the hidden truths about the universe.
The process of theoretical research is no exception. Scientists use theories to predict the outcomes of experiments, and then test those predictions to see if they are accurate.
Theoretical research is key to understanding the world around us, and it has led to some of the most important discoveries in history. Without theories, scientists would never have been able to understand the laws of physics, or the structure of the universe.
