The problem is that physicists in academia do not want progress and
currently act more like beaurocrats than real scientists. They want to
stick up to their theories even if it is demonstrated that theories
like string theory and maybe even general relativity are full of
problems, are incomplete or simply wrong. This is the antithesis to
scientific progress.

Think about it. Modern humans with the same brain as ours have been
around for 40,000 years. We could have been superadvanced by now in
science if we hadn't wasted our time dwelling on old religious
philosophy (like the Gods of the Greeks or that the earth is flat).

Instead we built useless empires (the Roman and Ottoman empires which
virtually accomplished very little), waged wars for personal gain and
we let dominant people who were clearly against progress and who were
against challenging old scientific dogmas to prevent progress. This
lasted until the Enlightment when Galileo and Newton revolted and came
up with new and albeit more successful theories.

It's ok as long as they aren't trying to spend $27 TRILLION of the
World's money on those theories, like AGW.

Not really. Disproving a scientific theory is a process that
involves, or at least concludes with, a better replacement theory.

No, not really. We had to make that journey, through that stuff, to
get where we are today.

No, not really. Those "useless empires" funded Science.

See above.

See above.

They didn't revolt. They may have caused a revolt, but they
themselves were merely following (and along the way creating) the
Scientific Process.

NNTP-Posting-Host: 79.176.122.130
79.176.122.130 = Ramat Gan, Israel.

This will make more sense to you after you graduate Middle School.
