|Question=What is the status of '''tacit theories''' in the scientific mosaic? Is it possible for a community to actually accept a theory without openly formulating it?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=Historically, there seem to be cases when certain beliefs of the community remain not articulated. For instance, it can be argued that the 19th century physics community accepted that space cannot be curved in the presence of material objects, yet this assumption remained tacit. The important theoretical question is to understand whether this is actually the case, i.e. whether there is actually such a thing as ''tacit theory''.
