Changes

|Description=According to '''the theory rejection theorem''', a [[Theory|theory]] becomes '''rejected ''' only when other theories that are incompatible with the theory become accepted. By the [[The First Law (Barseghyan-2015)|First Law]] for theories, an accepted theory will remain accepted until it is replaced by other theories. By the [[The Zeroth Law (Harder-2015)|Zeroth Law,]] the elements of the [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]] must be compatible with one another. Thus, a theory can only become rejected when it is replaced by an incompatible theory or theories[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 167-172]].

|Acceptance Indicators=The theorem became ''de facto'' accepted by the community at that time together with the whole [[The Theory of Scientific Change|theory of scientific change]]. It is a deductive consequence of the First and Zeroth Laws of scientific change.
