An example of Caloric Theory is the belief that heat is determined by the flow of a substance called caloric that flows from hot bodies to cold bodies. This theory was widely accepted in the 18th and 19th centuries before being replaced by the modern understanding of heat as energy transferred through the motion of particles.
The scientist who believed in the caloric theory was Antoine Lavoisier. He proposed that heat is a fluid-like substance called caloric that flows from hotter to colder bodies. This theory was prevalent in the 18th century but was eventually debunked in favor of the modern understanding of heat as a form of energy.
