can a scientific theory be modified?? agree or not and be sure to add evidence thank you!!!! will give brainliest to whoever does it correct what i asked

Explanation:

As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be modified and ultimately rejected if it cannot be made to fit the new findings; in such circumstances, a more accurate theory is then required If experimental results contrary to a theory's predictions are observed, scientists first evaluate whether the experimental design was sound, and if so they confirm the results by independent replication. A search for potential improvements to the theory then begins. Solutions may require minor or major changes to the theory, or none at all if a satisfactory explanation is found within the theory's existing framework.[18] Over time, as successive modifications build on top of each other, theories consistently improve and greater predictive accuracy is achieved. Since each new version of a theory (or a completely new theory) must have more predictive and explanatory power than the last, scientific knowledge consistently becomes more accurate over time.

If modifications to the theory or other explanations seem to be insufficient to account for the new results, then a new theory may be required. Since scientific knowledge is usually durable, this occurs much less commonly than modification.[16] Furthermore, until such a theory is proposed and accepted, the previous theory will be retained. This is because it is still the best available explanation for many other phenomena, as verified by its predictive power in other contexts. For example, it has been known since 1859 that the observed perihelion precession of Mercury violates Newtonian mechanics,[19] but the theory remained the best explanation available until relativity was supported by sufficient evidence. Also, while new theories may be proposed by a single person or by many, the cycle of modifications eventually incorporates contributions from many different scientists.[20]

After the changes, the accepted theory will explain more phenomena and have greater predictive power (if it did not, the changes would not be adopted); this new explanation will then be open to further replacement or modification. If a theory does not require modification despite repeated tests, this implies that the theory is very accurate. This also means that accepted theories continue to accumulate evidence over time, and the length of time that a theory (or any of its principles) remains accepted often indicates the strength of its supporting evidence.

Trap, neuter, release programs are growing in popularity across the country.

4. It might be hard to find individuals willing to volunteer to capture stray pets.

Getting ready for his semester studying abroad in Singapore, Brayden buys a pack of gum to help pop his ears on the flight. When he lands in Singapore and goes through customs, he is advised that he must throw away the gum or be at risk of committing a crime. Why would Brayden want to throw away the gum, even though he just purchased it? Gum is illegal in all countries and he should not have purchased it. Brayden does not want to go against the norms in Singapore. While gum is not illegal in many places, it is against the law in Singapore. Brayden should not have to dispose of the gum because it is his right to have it.
