I have some theories that I've contrived, some are philosophical, others are logical or physical, and some are just jokes about life told in a theory format. But I'd like to use some of these theories in some of my works. I didn't wrote any article or anything like that about them and never "officialized" them in any way. Now, what would happen if I turn them public, explaining their functioning, for the first time, through my stories? Isaac Asimov has the laws of robotics, and, although not exactly a theory, I don't know if he did anything official besides just publishing his story that uses it, but everyone knows that those three laws are Asimov's. But is that enough to prevent plagiarism? Are there more examples of theories first published in a story?
