Why does science tend to be self correcting?

Answer 1

Well as you go, science develops new conclusions and you cannot expect to have every discovery in the books to be set out and done by now. Science, often corrects its self as new discoveries are made, and as we enter life, century's and century's will pass and new scientific discoveries will begin to comprehend, many scientists are corrected by other scientists, however most would try to conclude the experiment quickly, and avoid having the flaws/mistakes pointed out, .just to slip away from the embarrassment. I mean, who knows maybe a century later when we are all dead, gravity may not be the thing that holds us down anymore. Always expect the unexpected.
