    Okay........ If you think about it hard enough,everything is theroetical. they are bjust proven really accuratly. Plus,anything nonbosonic in a proton is going to be called a quark if it belongs there.

    What you're referring to is a scientific theory, which differs tremendously from the "mainstream" usage of theory.
    THIS is what a scientific theory is: [link to Wikipedia]

    OR simplified, this [link to simple.Wikipedia]

    OR a TL;DR:
    In everyday speech, the word "theory" is used as a "best guess". In modern science, a scientific theory is a tested and expanded hypothesis that explains many experiments and fits ideas together in a framework. If anyone finds a case where all or part of a scientific theory is false, then that theory is either changed or thrown out.

    And in all honesty why cant both exist at the same time? Keeping the Universes clockworks spinning and running smoothly?(Unless theres something stopping that from happening? Im not for sure i just started getting into Quantum physics 2 months ago.)

     Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is that the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory.
