Newtonian physics dominated science for over two centuries. It found consistently successful application, becoming one of the most highly substantiated and accepted theories in the history of science. Nevertheless, Einstein' s theories came to show the fundamental limits of Newtonian physics and to surpass the Newtonian view in the early 1900s, giving rise once again to a physics that has so far enjoyed wide success. Which one of the following logically follows from the statements above?
A: Long-standing success of substantiation of a theory of physics is no guarantee that the theory will continue to be dominant indefinitely.
B: If a long-accepted theory of physics is surpassed, it must be surpassed by a theory that is equally successful.
C: Once a theory of physics is accepted, it will remain dominant for centuries.
D: Every theory of physics, no matter how successful, is eventually surpassed by one that is more successful.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
