In science, there is no such thing as a proven theory. Einstein’s theory of relativity corrected Newton’s Laws of Motion. School still teach circuit theory.

Right. Science doesn’t determine truth, it is a way to predict usefulness.

See Thomas Kuhn, “Structure of Scientific Revolutions”.

That’s an interesting proposition. Is there such thing in science as a dis-proven theory? Is science ultimately capable of giving only a negative answer?
