That would depend on the scientific theory in question.
I don't think there is such a thing as the "supersonic theory". If you mean "superstring theory", no, they are not the same.
Saying "no theory is written in stone" means that theories are subject to change and revision based on new evidence and insights. It emphasizes the importance of remaining open-minded and flexible in scientific inquiry.
