> approaching a CENTURY without any significant advances in physics If we changed that to 60 years, I'd make an even stronger statement. It seems that all the great theories and discoveries in all scientific fields happened more than 60 years ago: Evolution, Big Bang, special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, Godel's incompleteness theorem, continental drift, asteroid death of dinosaurs (K-T extinction event), fission/fusion, germ theory, etc. Certainly there has been great advances in technology (semiconductors, superconductors, quantum computing, etc.) But the great theories on which those are based happened before most of us here were even born. You'd think that with scientific knowledge supposedly doubling every 7 years that we'd have many new important discoveries and groundbreaking theories. We don't.
