“Science investigates difficult questions about unknown fields, and scientists are human, so it is inevitable that scientific findings will not be perfect. However, science works by investigating more and more, which means results get checked and rechecked with further findings. The reason some findings change is because they get corrected. This process of correction helps make science one of the most successful areas of human endeavor. The people who cannot be trusted are those who are always right.”

That is the beauty of science. If you think that you have a better explanation for a theory then you simply gather your evidence and submit a paper for peer-review.

If it withstands that review, and is published then the scientific community, as a whole will try to repeat your experiment and verify your findings.

If you show that your paper provides a better explanation, then it replaces the old one.

Science is not a stagnate thing it is a search for knowledge.

Here is a brief explanation of the peer-review process:

“What is peer review?

Science and engineering journals are a primary means by which engineers and scientists present their work. Before their work appears in a journal, experienced writers and reviewers know that a solo draft is only a draft and that the purpose of peer review is to stimulate the writer to rethink the entire document.

Definitions

Peer review is:

· the process scientists use to examine the work of fellow scientists before it is published or accepted within the scientific community.

· the process used by the scientific community to assess a scientific paper, report, project, or proposal by seeking comments on it from independent assessors (”peers”) working in the same field.

· the process by which manuscripts submitted to health, biomedical, and other scientifically oriented journals and other publications are evaluated by experts in appropriate fields (usually anonymous to the authors) to determine if the manuscripts are of adequate quality for publication.

· the procedure by which academic journal articles are reviewed by other researchers before being accepted for publication.

· written, critical response to a study, data, or report provided by scientists and other technically-qualified professionals.
