Avid,
Yes, I agree that the two best theories out there ...quantum physics and
General Relativity are not the final theories. They are the best two, but
they are sure to be replaced with better theories or with a combined theory
eventually. (Believe it or not, I actually have a theory of my own which
combines both yet negates neither. I am not a physicist or even the greatest
mathematician though, so my assumption is that my idea is full of BS. It is
probably wrong in a dozen ways.....but since I don't have the faith in my
knowledge to bring my idea forward, I guess I will never know until someone
else solves the problem. I guess their is nothing wrong with trying to be
creative?)
By the way, I have continued to read into Popper. I find it captivating how
his theory of science shows that we have established a culture of evolution,
where ideas are allowed to compete... and not based on some sole aristotelian
truth, but on quality. I wonder if the process could be used outside of
science? I suspect it is to some extent in the free enterprise system and
capitalism... where ideas are allowed to succeed or fail, to grow or whither,
based on their success in the marketplace.
