Atomic theory grew as a series of models that developed from experimental evidence. As more evidence was collected, the theory and models were revised with time, thus changing the theories often.

∙ 10y agoAs new technologies come about, new investigations take place, new facts are uncovered. In order to maintain accuracy, theories must sometimes be changed to meet the current facts. REMEMBER: A theory is NOT a fact, it is supported by many facts that lead to the best explanation of science as we know it TODAY! Theories are constantly being revised to best fit the knowledge and facts we have.

∙ 10y agoLike all theories, if the results obtained by experiments to test the theory do not exactly fit the results expected by the theory, then the theory is mistaken, wholly or at least in part. Over time, physicists have devised all sorts of theories and experiments to test them. As the methods of measurement have been refined and increased in precision, new theories have been devised to explain the small anomalies found between predictions from theory and the results obtained by experiment. Even today, we cannot be sure that our current theory for the atomic structure (the Standard Model) is correct because we have yet to discover all the particles predicted by the theory (hence the ongoing search for the Higgs Boson) and moreover, nobody can explain the phenomenon of gravity. Depending who you talk to and in what context, some will say gravity travels at the speed of light, others will say it must travel at least twenty times faster, while others say it must travel at least ten million times faster, while yet others say the effect of gravity is instantaneous and travels at infinite speed. No doubt, as we learn more and more from experimentation, new theories to explain the results obtained will be devised. Change is inevitable.
Update: The Higgs Boson has been discovered within the energy range expected by the current theory.

∙ 13y agoYES!! Discoveries in theoretical Chemistry are still being made. For example at the moment modelling electron correlation is an area of interest.

Scientific alternatives to Darwin's theory of evolution?
Darwin's original theory was formulated over 150 years ago. The modern theory of evolution, while still basically the same as Darwin's, is also significantly different. In either case, there is no scientific alternative to the origin of biodiversity.This is equivalent to how there is no scientific alternative to Atomic Theory.
How has recycling changed over the years?
it has because it was polluting the air and now it is not
Can a theory change over time and how?
yes. if a new scientist comes along that is more educated a theory can change. over time scientists learn more and more about topics and they can be updated when new information is discovered.
What process is thought to have changed the genetic code over billions of years?
evolution
What scientists have worked on the theory of emergence?

The Theory of Continental Drift!
How have computers changed over the years?
Computers have changed in many ways over the years. Technology has advanced< and it has become more easy to do stuff!
Why did the atomic theory change over time?
The atom theory changed over time because of conflicting experiments which led to revisions, such as when Rutherford revised Thomson's plum-pudding model to include the nucleus. Also, another reason for the atomic theory to change is technological advancements. For example, a scanning tunneling electron microscope, is now used for studying atoms.

Evolution say the world was created how?
The theory of evolution does not explain how the world was created or how life was created. It explains how living things have changed over the years, but not how they first came to be.
