There are several things which follow such a discovery. First, the scientist would want to publish the findings so that other scientists could examine the evidence as well, and see if they can also observe a contradiction with a previously accepted law or hypothesis, or whether they will discover some error in the methodology, or will be unable to reproduce the phenomenon. Secondly, if the evidence is found to be reliable, it will be necessary to come up with a new hypothesis or law that is consistent with the new evidence, and which can replace the old hypothesis or law, subject to continued testing and observation.
