Science is open to change because scientists agree that there are no absolute truths, only the best explanations for the data
there are specifically two cases when science can change: -new data is discovered (for example new skeleton makes us revise the known history of homo species)
-a new model is proposed that fits the data better (such as the heliocentric model of Copernicus)
