Theories are proven to be incorrect all the time. Witness, in another field altogether, the debate that raged about Neanderthal admixture. The theories could not be proven with the technology of the 80s and 90s, and for a long time, the incorrect theory, that there was no admixture, gained the upper hand. Then came DNA sequencing, and when it was sufficiently perfected it proved that admixture was a reality, irrefutably. Quantum physics is still very much a field dominated by theory.
