What I hope we will learn from all of this, is why it is such a big deal, that a theory is proven wrong? Why is science so reluctant to admit lack of knowledge? Why is science so keen to claim certainty, when actually there is none?
Imho, it's because of profit.
Each and every one of us, scientific or otherwise, has always had a fundamental need to profit to survive.
Certainty has to be perceived, for the computation of return on investment.
Therefore to attract investment, we've had to express certainty where there might not be actual certainty.
In fact there is no such thing as certainty. Everything we can perceive or sense is an approximation.
This goes much deeper into our unconsciousness than we realise.
Life for us has necessarily been just a non-stop confidence trick.
We could never stop to analyse this and point it out.
The same thing drives "political correctness".
If we are seen by investors to be questioning the established perception of certainty in all things then we become something that can't be invested in, so we become socially unacceptable, cancelled.
Look at the tendency of even the current platform to shadow ban all information on the existentially important solution of moving to the energy of the sun.
Try computing the ROI of a solar farm without artificially imposing a lifetime on the farm, and we find we can't.
Because the potential energy return is infinite, unlike any source of energy we can obtain from Earth.
Things are only quantifiable, if they come from limited sources, sources which will exhaust.
The concept of profit that the vast majority of human business depends on, is tying us into extinction.
Notice that the big bang itself is an attempt to reduce something infinite, to something quantifiable, that a number can be put on.
The whole thing is just one big con trick, which has to stop, for survival of the species.
