- jerf 13y agoThat's actually where I got the idea most clearly expressed to me in school; I just figured the Javascript thing was a bit more approachable, and conveyed what I was trying to say accurately enough.
- troymc 13y agoThat principle might be a good rule of thumb, but it's not universally true. Sometimes a new model comes along that both explains more and is more accurate. General Relativity is an example. Fundamental physics is funny that way.
- polynomial 13y agoEinstein always seems to be the exception that proves the rule.
