And even scientific theories are sometimes not accurate. The ego depletion dilemma is a great example. The ego depletion theory is that when use will power on a day you will deplete some of your reserve of willpower. This theory has been replicated a lot over the years and was seen as a solid theory. Until this year it was not replicable anymore, even after the APA did a large replication study. What happened? What has changed? does this mean this theory is incorrect?

We're not sure what has happened. As I see it, there are three possibilities: the original research was flawed, the new research is flawed, or things/people have changed. It's going to take more research to figure out what the difference might be, and lots of people reading and comparing the methods of the research very carefully.
