∙ 14y agoOne infamous example is the spontaneous generation. This is a long-disproven "theory" that the organism comes from non-living things such as clothings. Back in those days, they actually used to have certain "recipes" that can "create" a certain organism. This was because when you place a dead animal on the road, few days later, there might be flies or other animals scavenging on the corpse.

I think Scientific Theories can be changeable. If we find new theories that prove others wrong, that scientific theory can be proved wrong. Galileo used shapes of different masses at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He had refuted the theory about free falling objects, championed by Aristole. So there you have it! He changed a scientific theory! Actually, two! He proved that the earth was NOT in the center of the universe, which had been accepted since ancient time. People can scientific theories CAN be changeable. Not unchangeable.
Scientific law
Laws have been proven, theories have not
the hypothesis has not been proven wrong.
Scientific theorums are normally discarded after they have been proven to be wrong after a series of testing to verify if the theory was correct or not. Scientific theorums can take years, sometimes decades to be proven to be correct or incorrect.

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.

scientific law is unlike a scientific theory in a sense that its the next step above a scientific theory.A scientific law is one that has been proven, a scientific theory has not been proven yet.
When a scientific idea has been tested many times
Theories that the affliction was cause by Ergotism and theories about Encephalitis have been presented but no theory has been proven.
Laws are scientiffically proven facts while theories are not considered facts but are not completely disregarded either as they have not yet been proven to be wrong
