What does this suggest about the nature of scientific knowledge?

• Scientific knowledge should not be considered valid because it changes over time.

• Technology has improved enough that scientific knowledge can stop changing.

• New discoveries and evidence are more important than repeatable results.

• Scientific knowledge changes over time based on evidence.
