Theory can be described as "looking at music scientifically". Keep in mind that music has more to do with physics than mathematics. There is math involved, but there is much more in the nature of the science of acoustics (a subdivision of physics).

G scale? 1,4,5?How did you get the key of G using 1,4,5? Is it because I started with G?

What you are asking is "How do I determine what key a group of chord is in?"

The answer is here:
