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?

The geocentric “theory” (really a mere hypothesis since, in part, it was impossible to test) has been disproved. It doesn’t look like phlogiston exists, neither does the ether but if further study could demonstrate with some certainty that they did, good science would have to be open to it.
