Is it correct to say if a theory or something you say is theoretically correct?

Thanks

I don't exactly understand your question (the words seem to have been garbled somehow), but the phrase "theoretically correct" is commonly used and means correct according to some theory, often contrasting this with "correct in the real world".

Here is what I mean.

Can you say 'theoretically correct'? Is it correct to ask if it is theoretically correct?

Is this sentence correct in terms of the science physics? or Is this theoretically correct?

If the room is too hot, open the door. It will automatically get colder because of the air circulation.
