Yes. A theory is a proposition that suggests that with all that is known at present a situation is likely to be or exist in a certain way. This can change as the evidence surrounding the proposition changes. Even thing that were once considered laws of nature and physics have been known to change as a result of new information coming to light.
a) an idea that has never been proven wrong
The phlogiston theory, which suggested that all combustible materials contained a substance called phlogiston that was released during combustion, was once widely accepted. However, it has since been discredited with the advancement of modern chemistry and the discovery of oxygen's role in combustion. Today, the phlogiston theory is considered a historical scientific misconception.
The phlogiston theory has been debunked by the discovery of oxygen. When materials burn, they combine with oxygen, not phlogiston as believed in the theory. The understanding of combustion and oxidation provided by oxygen led to the rejection of the phlogiston theory.
Burning a candle is a non-reversible change because once the wax is melted and the wick is burnt, it cannot be undone to return the candle to its original state. The chemical composition of the wax and wick is changed permanently.
Burning is an irreversible change.
Once a hypothesis have been confirmed through numerous experimental tests, it can then become a theory. Theories are much more powerful and expansive in scope than hypotheses. Once a theory has been established, it is the role of scientist to try and disprove a theory rather than to try to reinforce its proof.
Once a theory is established, it both becomes accepted scientific principle and may be altered or changed at a later point (normally upon discovery of new evidence or through revaluation of existing evidence).
A scientific model can change if new evidence is found. If the new evidence that has been found contradicts the model or theory then a scientific model or theory can change.
It is an established custom. There is no mathematical reason why it could not have been the other way round. But once established as a "standard" changing it can cause confusion and also some problems.It is an established custom.

once a hypothesis has been supported in repeated experiments, scientists can begin to develop a theory.
Not at all. That it hasn't been proven is what makes it a theory. Once proven, it becomes a law.
Once.
There is no"theory of climate change" as it has been demonstrated and observed by trained scientists for several decades.if there is a theory it is from the climate change deniers who insist that the process is "all natural" and will reduce itself without human effort.
they can change by summarizing a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeat testing.
Naturally not all changes happen at once or in an established order. If you are seeing hair in new places then you are most likely entering puberty, the voice change will come later on
A theory that has been successfully tested repeatedly and has stood the test of time is generally referred to as a well-established or robust theory. This term indicates that the theory has consistently shown to be valid and reliable across multiple experiments and observations in various conditions.
Yes, a hypothesis is a proposed explanation that has not been extensively tested or confirmed, while a theory is a well-supported explanation that has been validated through repeated testing and observation. In scientific terms, a theory is considered more established and supported than a hypothesis.
