I don't think it's scary, that's the simple development from theories in science.

More, if you find inaccuracies in your models, you can develop it.

A famous example are the relativity in classic systems by Galileo and the axioms from newton which are developed to SRT/ART. And i don't think this is the end.

Edith says: so, i'm every time happy, when big theories are false in some kinds, so you can improve it or find new theories.

I totally agree. Didn't mean to suggest otherwise. Was trying to highlight how amazing the JWST is, and how on it's first few photos it's forcing us to re-think some long-held theories. And of course, that's how science works. It's not a belief, it's data driven and it changes as the data reveals more information. Thanks.
