Quote:Why on earth would you think that?
Because a lot of things could happen within a century or two. Honestly, Einstein's theory came out of nowhere, although there is a similar postulate of relativity being developed by other scientist, Einsten did not look at these datas. Right now is a very crucial point in Physics I think. All it takes is someone to look at something from an angle, and theorize a groundbreaking theory, although I know I'm stretching it here. Easier said than done.
Quote:As most phys majors would say, we were hardly done with newton when along came einstein. I believe the classical limit has been reached, but as most astrophysicists and particle physicists (the two opposite ends of our size spectrum) would tell you, there are eons of study ahead. I will say this however, in a couple of hundred years, the amount of physics you'll need to study before reaching a stage where you can conduct practical research, might just be horribly extended to beyond the limits of human patience.
As long as they just skip right to the most modern physics instead of doing all the classical as a requirement, I would be grateful.
