Imagine that a scientist develops a hypothesis about how gravity works in Einstein's theory of relativity, one of the

most important theories in physics. The scientist tests the hypothesis in a lab setting and collects data that go
against a part of the theory of relativity. Other scientists repeat the experiment and collect the same data with the
same conclusions. Some of these scientists develop their own experiments, which also generate data that go
against the theory of relativity. What is most likely to happen next?
O The theory of relativity will be revised to include the new data.
O There will be two theories of relativity because the data is uncertain.
O The theory of relativity will remain unchanged because theories are facts.
O The theory of relativity will be revised to be a law.
