David French and many other experts have told me this, and this is also how I read the P.O. rules. Many discoveries without theoretical explanations have been patented. Not only is this allowed, but French and other experts say you should leave out all mention of theory in your patent, even if you have a theory. If you include a theory, and it turns out to be wrong, the patent may be ruled invalid. Whereas if the patent does not include your theory, it makes no difference whether the theory is right or wrong. As a rule, you should not include anything in the patent other than what the Patent Office says you must include. Anything extra may weaken the patent, and will not make it stronger. The only thing you must include in a patent is a description that will allow a PHOSITA (person having ordinary skill in the art) to replicate. A PHOSITA can replicate without knowing a theory. - Jed
