It is clear that Some well-known examples of theory rejection exists in are the history rejections of science. Numerous examples can be found in the history of science. In various theories that made up the [[Theory Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015)Aristotle|Aristotelian]], we provided theories that explain the potential reasons behind theory rejection. The earliest example of theory change can be traced back to the Aristotelian-medieval community. Theories in the community were constantly replaced until Scholastic mosaic by the end of the 17th century. [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 210]] For exampleThese theories included geocentrism, judicial astrology was removed from the Aristotelian-medieval community because it contradicts four elements, the idea of free will developed by Christian scientistsfour causes, and natural astrology. Theories like geocentrism They were replaced in the mosaic by heliocentrism developed by scientists like Nicolaus Copernicus. Even further, by circa 1700, the entire Aristotelian system was replaced by various theories of Cartesian and Newtonian and Cartesian physicsscience.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|ppp. 210167-172]]

|Description=Theory rejection is a necessary part of [[Mechanism of Scientific Change|scientific change]]. Any theory of scientific change requires a means to explain how a theory becomes rejected.
Another typical example of theory rejection is the rejection of the phlogiston theory. After Georg Ernst Stahl introduced the theory, it had undergone several modifications to make the existence of phlogiston plausible.[[CiteRef::Weisberg, Needham, and Hendry (2011)]] However, during the Chemical Revolution, as Antoine Lavoisier reviewed several experimental results that contradicted the existence of phlogiston, he removed phlogiston from the scientific mosaic at the time, in order to accommodate those experimental results.[[CiteRef::Weisberg, Needham, and Hendry (2011)]]
