There will be no Copernicus if everybody just studies epicycles. E.g. there are massive resources put into the desperate WIMP hunt that could be used for finding new theories.

- jampekka 2y agoResearch funding is very competitive and scarce.

- jampekka 2y agoOf course. It's called theoretical physics.
