Why do people consider today's scientific "fact" as "fact" when we have a written history of scientific "fact" that turned out to be incorrect as years passed?

Since something only becomes scientific "fact" when it gets wide acceptance by the peer review process, such a process does nothing to prove the theory as "fact" to a godhead.

Also any new "facts" will not easily be accepted into the scientific community if they contradict previous science, which is why it takes years for new "facts" to take the place of old "facts."

So why do people put so much stock into science, when it is clearly just a collection of "best guess" theories that are accepted as custom allows and subject to change at anytime by a persuasive academic article?

Software accessible by the Internet, that way you could have access to a virtual doctor 24/7, free of charge and ask all the questions you want and take all the measurements you want without being judged, rediculed, refused and without condescending manners.

Nurses would provide the medications if necessary and specialized surgeons would keep their position.

Since doctors are mostly used for advice and tests, then this part we don't need doctors for. Software could provide the advice and interpret the test results and nurses could administer medication and perform the tests.

That way, people would have more power over their own health and would not need the doctor's permission to know what's going on. Also, they would not keep a compromising record on you either. Some medical records are even worse than a criminal record.

So another question arises, if fundamental particles such as leptons can be reduced no further are these the true elemental particles when considering the true state of elements. Not the Proton & Neutron arrangement that we are now taught.

Light is supposed to travel as waves in a conical shape from the point of its source.......

LASER is supposed to travel in a straight line, so isn't the LASER a form of light?, if it is indeed light, then how come it wave doesn't progress in an expanding conical form?
