[QUOTE=overpain;36275235]It's amazing how one man in 20th century managed to create theory that whole world still uses and discovers things, and none of these negates Einstein theory.[/QUOTE]
I think this guy

Lasted quite a while before people started proving him wrong. That's 2000 years ago though.
Sad but true.
One day maybe we'll be extremely surprised when Einstein's theory is proven to be faulty in one way or another.
That's the awesome thing about science.
[QUOTE=Turnips5;36276995]what the fuck am I reading
we can't call it a theory, because it's just a theory?[/QUOTE]
Shit, I fucked up, I meant we can't say he's 100% right, because it's still a theory. I never meant to act as if we shouldn't be curious and wonder about things, I do not think that way at all.
Fucked up last post, forgot to add a few words.

[QUOTE=Adbor;36277636]It is you who seems to be operating under the most absolute principles of thinking.
If humanity ever followed that train of thought, no scientific discovery would ever happen - every single scientific breakthrough will most likely be considered primitive in distant future.
All we have ever achieved, science-wise, is based on a certain set of contemporary assumptions and thus is a giant work in progress that is gradually unveiled as we progress through the universe. You're right in saying "nothing is absolute" - humanity, as the residents of the tiny speck of dust in the universe, could never dare to call anything that.

I didn't mean we shouldn't pursue scientific advances, or that we shouldn't guess on things. I was just saying that hopefully scientists can prove his theory wrong, maybe near the end of our lifetimes.
