Studying neutrinos helped to explain how our Sun works but led to changes in theories of particle physics, how is this process consistent with the scientific process? How can details about a theory be adjusted without undermining other discoveries made through the theory's predictions?

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, evidently, the process is consistent with the scientific process because in scientific process falsification and modification are two very important traits. So this new concept have modified the existing theories.

Through the modification a theory is adjusted without undermining other discovering made through the theory's prediction.

There are many other evidences that prove this fact for example Einstien's Theory of relativity also changes the existing concepts.
