Hmm, I don't think that's something we can predict. Someone could have said the same thing before general relativity... in fact, most people did because they thought we were almost done.
- RC_ITR 4y agoI would argue that general relativity barely affects humans day to day lives, whereas the nuclear model of the atom completely changed the global political system.
- guerrilla 4y agoThat would be dumb though because it has nothing to do with the original point. Maybe you just feel like arguing.
- RC_ITR 4y agoI mean, I would love for you to expand upon how: >Take dark matter/energy for example - if we get a better model to understand that, it will revolutionize how we think about the universe, but it will (hopefully) have less impact on day-to-day society than the nuclear model of atoms did. Is unrelated to: >I would argue that general relativity barely affects humans day to day lives, whereas the nuclear model of the atom completely changed the global political system. Maybe to help you, I was using General relativity as a time marker (i.e. it was the first sea-change scientific discovery that had limited impact on day-to-day human life) You then argued that my premise was incorrect, because before general relativity was formalized, people could have believed that all future discoveries were too abstract to affect day-to-day human life. I then argued that you were correct in that general relativity in fact was too abstract to affect humans' day-to-day life. Then you made a personal attack against me. Now we are here.
