- Superseded scientific theories
Refimprove date May 2010 A superseded , or obsolete, scientific theory is a scientific theory that was once commonly accepted but that is no longer considered the most complete description of reality by a mainstream scientific consensus , or a theory which has been shown to be false. This label does not cover protoscience protoscientific or fringe science theories with limited support in the scientific community , nor does it describe theories that were never widely accepted. Some theories which were only supported under specific political authorities, such as Lysenkoism , may also be described as obsolete or superseded. In some cases a theory or idea is found to be baseless and is simply discarded for example, the phlogiston theory was entirely replaced by the quite different concept of energy and related laws. In other cases an existing theory is replaced by a new theory which retains significant elements of the earlier theory in these cases, the older theory is often still useful for many purposes, and may be more easily understood than the complete theory and lead to simpler calculations. An example of this is the use of Newtonian physics , which differs from the currently accepted relativistic physics by a factor which is negligibly small at velocities much lower than that of light ... model of the universe places the Earth at the centre.
