No, Scientific Laws cannot change. Laws have been proven, while theories on the other hand, cannot. Theories can be changed over time, but Laws are “set in stone”.

Laws reflect scientific knowledge that experiments have repeatedly verified (and never falsified). Their accuracy does not change when new theories are worked out, but rather the scope of application, since the equation (if any) representing the law does not change.
