Because technology might change in the future.
new evidence contradicts it
Theories are ideas, educatied ideas, but still only ideas. A scientist may change a scientific theory if new facts or information are found, if other scientists' review find errors, if attempts to apply the theory are unsuccessful, or if they see that the calculations are wrong when they double check them, and so then they would retest and rewrite their theory to correct the errors.Science is testing a belief with the means to disprove it and being unable to do so.Scientific Fact = something that has yet to be disproved.
Scientists believe that experiments can test hypotheses and answer the specific scientific question at hand and can either support or deny the justification of a theory. Either way, the theory will always have outliers and cases that reduce its legitimacy. While a theory can become very strong in its support, scientists say that nothing can ever be 100% "proven"

Scientists treat all theories the same way, popular or not. They will reject any theory if evidence appears which contradicts it.
In which of the following ways can scientific knowledge change and grow? a popular scientist states that a prevailing theory is not correcta single experiment disproves a prevailing theorya large number of experiments challenge a prevailing theory-experiments reaffirm the validity of a prevailing theory.
If new observations do not fit exactly with the current theory.

The scientific revolution was caused by the change in concept of the physical world brought about by scientists like Galileo, Issac Newton, Copernicus, etc. Observation and experiments were used to explain theories. People shifted their views from blind traditions to logical solutions.

Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
It must pass the germ theory.
A science law is a description or prediction of a behavior as a result of repeated observation or testing. It does not involve an explanation or cause of the behavior. A Scientific Theory is an attempt to explain why something happens.
The Scientific Revolution was a major cause of the Enlightenment. The new scientific discoveries and methods challenged traditional beliefs and inspired a more critical and rational approach to understanding the world. This shifting perspective laid the foundation for the Enlightenment's focus on reason, individualism, and progress.
