Re: Relativity! Fact or fiction? you choose
fWhat the heck is reality then?
Depending on how you define "reality" we may never know. We may be incapable of knowing.

Paradign shift
PY,
You've been talking about paradign shift. The science historians I've read seem to see it as a new generation replacement. The old guard may never quite grasp the new and the new is established as they are replaced by the upcoming generation. Science is a human activity. No divine absolute sanctions it. There are major shifts in understanding. It was hard to go from the theory of aether to relativity. And whatever the next paradign shift maybe there will be upheavals.
