Whenever new data shows that its wrong.
Experimentation, look at the Scientific Method
the theory that all planets and sun revolve around earth
Some one proves it wrong.
whenever an experiment fails to confirm the theory it is no longer a theory ... it becomes a hypothesis
when it is consistent with observation
Theories can be changed or rejected if and when the scientific evidence no longer supports the theory.
A scientific theory must be based on many repeated correct experiments; also this theory must be related with other accepted theories.

whenever an experiment fails to confirm the theory it is no longer a theory ... it becomes a hypothesis
Scientific theories can be changed or replaced when there has been significant evidence for the change. The scientific method must be used to create a new hypothesis, which must then be proven.
when it is consistent with observation
A scientific theory is not the same as a scientific law because a law is already proved and used but theories can be changed by other scientists is the view of a 13 year old girl.
