Laws can only be changed if enough evidence has been given to disprove the law and place another law in its place. Theories change all the time. Theories are basically a question that scientist try to answer. Theories are just an idea that scientists give as an explanation to a question but they are not sure yet
Scientists are not resistant to change, they are always ready to look at new evidence for scientific theories. But science develops by looking at new ideas and rejecting the ones that can be proved wrong, so this is why scientists always have to look at new ideas when they come along and try to disprove them. The scientific theories that last are the ones that could never be disproved.

Yes, they can, if new evidence is discovered to support a change in the theory. Physical theories are not provable in the sense of mathematical theorems. They depend on evidence, and they can be disproved if enough contrary evidence comes up.
They relied more on evidence.
As more and more data is collected and evaluated on a topic, scientists' theories or hypothesis may change based on the new information.
when enough evidence contradicts earlier ideas
New technology causes scientists to question existing theories.
