The real answer is the studies are observational, ie they don't control for variables, so they have limited scientific weight. This is why they can wildly contradictory results, and the media publishes them as if they were gospel.
One of the main purposes of science is to enshure that theories of our world have no contradictions. You could not do it without searching for contradictions. Finding contradiction just means that theory is wrong and should be replaced or rewriten. It's the inalienable part of scientific research. You make theory, you check if experimental results align with theory predictions and look for contradictions to proove or dicsprove theory.
I don't even know who is worse in that case - Daily Mail who reports on some studies like they are scientific fact, or one who made this meme based on complete ignorance.
Science, and scientific approach is very important today. It is the only practical way of finding the truth that is not completely perverted yet. And those who are trying to bury science itself, instead of burying MSM, corrupted scientists and those who make profit on that, definitely is not on the side of truth.
Yes.
theory is when hypothesis get some mathematical form.
Hypothesis is like "phenomenon A connected with phenomenon B"
Theory is like "phenomenon A is proportional to square root of phenomenon B"
Hypothesis is a broad assumpion about existence of connection of A and B. Since absence of something could not be proved, there is nothing to prove or disprove yet.
Theory is a next stage of obtaining knowledge that could already be practically verified by experiment and could be proven or disproven.
