The year after Wegener died, Arthur Holmes published his idea that thermal convection in the earth's mantle could cause continents to move. Holmes also suggested that the continents didn't move but were "carried" by larger pieces of the earth's crust. The controversy quieted down and fell from prominence until the 1960s, when new evidence was brought to the fore. Discoveries of the Mid-Ocean Ridge and the work of Harry Hess and others led to the development of plate tectonics. Though not without problems, this theory has gained wide acceptance. It is the most complete theory of global dynamics yet, and its roots lie in the work of Alfred Wegener.

There were these major breakthroughs by those other scientists.
Yes, the evidence from systematics, paleontology, botany and field biology plus the findings of the founders of population genetics.
If a new theory better fits the data overall or simply because new and significant data disagrees or the method which brought about the original theory is invalid.
the glass should be picked up by tweezers and the technician should be wearing gloves. the person collecting glass should put it in a plastic evedence bag and brought to the lab.
the two scientists that brought forth supporting his evidence was South African Geologist Alexander Du Toit and Swiss geologist Emile Argand.

evidence no matter new or old can be brought up at any time.
Direct Evidence
Scientists learned important information about the moon's formation, history, and composition by studying the rocks brought back by astronauts. They found that the moon is much older than previously thought, provided evidence of past volcanic activity, and discovered similarities between moon rocks and certain rocks on Earth.
The scientists captured him and brought him there for experimenting.

The detectives brought evidence collection kits, forensic tools, and surveillance equipment to use for their investigation. They also likely brought cameras, fingerprint kits, and evidence bags to secure findings.

Scientists study orangutans mainly by going to their natural habitat. Orangutans are not usually brought to research areas to be studied.
Fossil evidence, such as similar plant and animal species found across distant continents, supports the theory of continental drift. Additionally, matching geological features, like mountain ranges or rock formations, that line up when continents are brought together provide further evidence. Magnetic striping on the ocean floor also points towards seafloor spreading and the movement of continents.
