We had a rush of scientific breakthroughs 100 years ago. I believe we will have more.<p>That experimentation in physics has slowed down to 18th century levels doesn&#x27;t mean science is over, it just means the low-hanging fruit is over and we will have to continue slogging through theory before we discover new experiments.<p>Science has always relied on philosophy for its underlying direction, it&#x27;s just obvious again.  It took 2040 years before science&#x2F;math could answer Zeno&#x27;s paradoxes.  If you can&#x27;t handle the slog you&#x27;re not really a scientist, you&#x27;re a technician.
