Yes, that's how science progresses, but doesn't really make for interesting coffee table discussions about the nature of reality.
- Ma8ee 7y agoYes, that is how some parts of science progress. And I certainly don't want to diminish those contributions. But that is also the exact reason why we haven't had any mayor breakthroughs in fundamental physics in soon half a century. I don't see how an Einstein, Bohr or even Feyman could get tenure today.
