Physics has made a tremendous progress since then. So, while continuing to pour billions into HEP research, we can be pretty sure that historical parallels sometimes do not work.
- generalizations 6y agoPhysics had made tremendous progress in the time leading up to Max Planck, too. Your argument is basically the same one used last time. We just don't know what we don't know. I wouldn't bet that 'this time' we do actually know our stuff. It sounds too much like an elementary-school kid who has no conception of calculus and thinks once they've finished geometry they'll have learned all there is to know about math. "I've made tremendous progress in math since learning multiplication. Surely this time I'll have figured it all out. I already know division and exponents. What more could there possibly be after geometry?"
