How the prevailing theories about testing bring changes in atomic theories​

here is your answer

explanation:

By continually applying scientific theories, we continually test them. We look for anomalies, instances where the theory did not predict the observed behavior. When anomalies are found, we modify the theory to take into account all of the old observations plus the new one. This process moves science always forward, never backward.

By continually applying scientific theories, we continually test them. We look for anomalies, instances where the theory did not predict the observed behavior. When anomalies are found, we modify the theory to take into account all of the old observations plus the new one. This process moves science always forward, never backward.Sometimes new observations merely reinforce theories, like when a predicted observation is actually discovered. An example of this is the transtional fossil tiktaalik. Paleontologists knew approximately in what age rock the first amphibious tetrapods should be found, since they already had found and age-dated aquatic lobe-finned fish and land tetrapod fossils . They also knew what sort of environment these first amphibian tetrapods required. Using geologic maps, they looked for a place in the world with rocks of the correct age that had been deposited in the correct environment. There were not many places, and the easiest place to explore was in the north part of Canada on Ellesmere Island. They went there, dug a shaft, and discovered the fossil exactly as the evolutionary theory predicted it should be. This discovery did not cause the theory of evolution to need modification. Rather, it provided evidence that the theory was working as a predictive tool and, for now, was to be trusted until future evidence prompted change.
