I don't understand the question. From wikipedia
---------------
Cell theory is a scientific theory that is one of the foundations of biology. The generally accepted parts of cell theory include:

- The cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in living things.
- All organisms are made up of one or more cells.
- Cells arise from other cells through cellular division.
- Cells carry genetic material passed to daughter cells during cellular division.
- All cells are essentially the same in chemical composition.
- Energy flow (metabolism and biochemistry) occurs within cells.
------

This doesn't have anything to do with communication between scientists any more than any other part of science. Scientists would have a hard time doing their job if they couldn't communicate. Period.

Am I missing somthing about your question?

That is not a very good definition of the word "theory". Theoretically speaking (oh, how I crack myself up sometimes) you can develop a theory without communicating with anyone.

Not all theories are accepted by the majority of scientists. You need to make the distinction between accepted theories, rejected theories and theories that haven't been decided on yet.

Actually, an idea is only a hypothesis until there is substantial evidence to corroborate its predictions and no evidence to directly contradict its predictions. At least, that's the way the technical language goes. To the lay person, "theory" is tantamount to speculation.

(don't you hate people who start statements with, "Actually..."?)
