In order to be considered as "proven" theory, all theories must pass following tests:
1. It must have the inherent possibility of being proven wrong (falsifiability).
2. It must be a repeatable phenomenon, consistent with pre-existing theories and experiments.
3. It must be adaptable to new evidence that will increase its predictability over time.
