Re: on time span
My point was, it is no good someone boasting about the immense predictive power of their theory if it only refers to things which can't be immediately tested ... say, a theory which predicts with great precision what will happen in a billion years' time, but with no consequences in the present. This would not be impressive.
Sure as heck would be if in a billion years time it comes true.
