The theory is modified.
What usually happens if a scientific experiment generates new knowledge that doesn't agree with an existing theory?
The new knowledge is used to reevaluate the theory
Can a theory change over time and how?
yes. if a new scientist comes along that is more educated a theory can change. over time scientists learn more and more about topics and they can be updated when new information is discovered.
What happens when new information or research is found to conflict with an existing affected scientific theory?
Many times, the new evidence is suppressed for an indefinite time until preparations can be made. Once it has been released, publishers will create a deal for the information to be published, whilst sometimes the original discoverer is paid off so that a different group can claim discovery.
