Question
explaining why theories change
which reasons explain why a theory would be changed or replaced? check all that apply
new technology is developed that provides more information about the theory
new experimental methods are designed to test a theory
a new, untested hypothesis is proposed
new information is discovered that does not support the theory
a single experiment produces results that differ from all previous experiments
Theories change when new evidence contradicts them or new tools provide more accurate data. Untested hypotheses don’t affect theories; single conflicting experiments need replication, so they don’t alone cause change. New tech/experimental methods can reveal gaps, and contradictory new info forces revision.
