Theory is when you know everything,
but nothing works.
Practice is when everything works,
but nobody knows why.
In our lab, theory and practice are
combined. Nothing works and nobody
knows why.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

That's why a good lab tech is more valuable than anyone appreciates.

Theory is when you think that you know how it should work, but it don't
work as it should.

That's a Hypothesis. Theory is how you struggle to explain how experiment shows it works.

When theory is correct the practice works. But then the theory becomes
truth.

That's a Hypothesis. Theory is how you struggle to explain how
experiment shows it works.

AIUI, the scientific method defines it this way:

- observe a phenomenon
- attempt to explain the phenomenon by building a hypothesis
- test the hypothesis through experiments and peer review
- if it fails, back to the drawingboard and revise hypothesis
- if it passes the tests, the hypothesis graduates to theory
- should new data throw into doubt the validity of the theory
back to the drawingboard again.

I understand and appreciate the joke though. :)

That's where you fill the gaps with waffle like 'black holes', 'dark matter/energy', 'multiverse' etc
