'A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.' — Max Planck

Which is a funny thing for someone who lived through and contributed to at least one entire upending of paradigms to say.

PLENTY of science proceeds without anyone dying. Usually it just requires insanely entertaining loud arguments at large conventions. Go lookup the philosophical arguments about early thermodynamics and like statistical mechanics.

Science advances one unexplainable datapoint at a time.
