There is no absolute knowledge in science that can never be disproven even in principle. It does sometimes turn out that scientists are wrong, and what they considered to be a fact turns out not to be one. I would add that it is more usual for scientists to revise theories, than to reject what was considered to be a fact, but it does happen.

A widely accepted scientific idea which cannot be proven nor disproven?
Dependent variable
How does scientific law differ from theory?
A scintific law is a statement that describes what scientisis expect to happen. A scintififc theory is a well-tested explantion for a range of observations. This answers the question '' How Does Scientific Law Differ From Scientific Theroy?''
Is a hypothesis considered to be a fact?
A hypothesis is a proposition to be proven or disproven by experiment or, in the case of statistics, to be assessed for its likelihood based on the numbers available.
Is stating the problem the first step in the scientific process?
Yes, in the Scientific Method, the problem / question / observation is the subject of the investigation. Once the question exists, a hypothesis / conjecture can be made, which can be proven or disproven through experimentation.
What scientific theories have been disproven?
Einstein found that the fasting moving object is light. September 2011, scientists found that neutrinos travel faster than light.
Why don't all hypothesis become theories?
A scientific theory is something that is tried and tested, and not yet disproven. It is close to being scientific 'fact' as you can get. Not all hypotheses will become theories because sometimes they get disproven. That means the hypothesis will need to be changed and tested again.
Can a scientific theory ever be disproven?
Yes
Can theories be disproven?
No. A theory cannot be disproven. This is a corollary of the fact that a theory cannot be proven either; otherwise it would be a theorem.The correct term for a theory being consistent with evidence and reliable in predictions is validated. The correct term for not being validated, or an overturning of validation, is invalidated.
What is the difference in theory and scientific law?
A scientific law is an indisputable fact: there are no observances dictating it. For example, gravity is a scientific law. A scientific theory is simply a generally accepted explanation for a particular phenomenon or idea that cannot currently be proven or disproven. The structure of the atom and evolution are theories.
What do you call it if fact is proved wrong?
If a fact is proven wrong, it is said to have been disproven.

For a scientific claim to be meaningful it must be capable of being disproven This is the critical thinking principle of?
falsifiability. This principle suggests that for a scientific claim to be valid, it must be testable and potentially refutable through evidence and observation. By being able to be disproven, scientific claims can be rigorously tested and evaluated for accuracy.
A scientific principle is?
Ignored by creationists -Excuse me, but I think the term 'overruled' or 'disproven' would work best in that statement.
What is a scientific fact called?
a scientific fact is called data.
Is a hypothesis considered to be a fact?
A hypothesis is a proposition to be proven or disproven by experiment or, in the case of statistics, to be assessed for its likelihood based on the numbers available.
Why are questions about philosophy or religion not able to be answered through scientific inquiry?
Questions about philosophy or religion often deal with abstract concepts, beliefs, and values that are not easily quantifiable or observable. Science is limited to empirical observation and measurement, making it difficult to provide definitive answers to questions that fall outside the scope of the natural world. Additionally, philosophy and religion may involve subjective interpretations and personal experiences that are not always easily explained or validated through scientific methods.
