NEED ASAP

Is it accurate to say that once science has answered a question, it is settled forever?

Yes, the scientific method works so well that once a discovery is made it never changes.

Yes, once a scientific "truth" is discovered there is nothing more to study about the topic.

No, if new evidence is acquired or new perspectives emerge, scientific ideas can be revised or replaced.

No, everything is really science so if a more appealing alternative emerges scientists will generally eliminate old ideas.

Answer 1

No, if new evidence is acquired or new perspectives emerge, scientific ideas can be revised or replaced; as new ideas are introduced, scientists rethink and experiment to prove the hypotheses, and if the evidence is proven true many times, scientific ideas are revised, but not eliminated completely. So science can never be completely true, the ideas are just theories humans try to prove to examine how the universe works.
