    Yeah I like that.

    I use “theory” for theoretical things, like theoretical physics and math, that can be proven (in a mathematical way).

    I use the word “model” for practical things, like practical physics. Models don’t need to be proven, but their accuracy can be more or less helpful, depending on the context.
