Can a theory ever change?

Yes, scientific theories can change or be revised as new evidence is discovered and our understanding of the natural world evolves. This process is fundamental to the scientific method and helps to ensure that our theories align with the most up-to-date knowledge available.


A hypothesis is changed or updated often than scientific theory?

If I understand the question correctly, you are asking whether a scientify *theory* can be revised as new evidence is presented, and the answer is YES. This forms the entire foundation of science - any theory that cannot be revised is contrary to the scientific method; it has, in effect, become dogma. Any theory that cannot be demonstrated through the available evidence must be rejected. So, if a scientist discovers new data that invalidates a previously working theory, then that theory is rejected by the scientific community.


Which is not a result of scientific theory?

Personal beliefs or opinions are not a result of scientific theory. Scientific theories are based on empirical evidence and reasoning, not on subjective views or perspectives.


How is a scientific law unlike a scientific theory?

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.


What is the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law?

A scientific theory is an explanation supported by evidence and can be modified as new evidence is discovered. A scientific law is a description of a natural phenomenon that is consistent and often expressed mathematically, without explaining why it happens.

Can a theory be rejected?

Yes, a scientific theory can be rejected if new evidence or observations contradict its predictions or if a more accurate theory is developed. The rejection of a theory is an essential part of the scientific process that helps refine our understanding of the natural world.
