"Uhm, no, you know that's not true. Most people cringe and shake their heads when they think of doctors "bleeding" people many centuries ago (this hastened the ultimate demise of G. Washington, for example). Certainly they didn't know any better at the time but that doesn't mean people today don't laugh at it."

I repeat, only the historically ignorant and the insufferably arrogant do that.

"Are you asking a serious question? Heck, we reproduced the light through the prism experiment in Junior High."

I already conceded that in an earlier post. It should be noted that Newton was not correct about the nature of light.

"Absolutely. But they are not incorrect within certain constraints, which still makes them valid."

But they are... incorrect.

"I don't know of anyone who looks at Newton's theories like they do medical science of yesteryear."

Maybe physicists aren't as arrogant as doctors? :)

"But they are... incorrect."

Really? Well they were taught to me in college as being correct. In fact, alot of the engineering design that goes on is based on classical Newtonian physics (I'm sure you are well aware of this).

They are incomplete, but they are still correct -- within limitations.

" Maybe physicists aren't as arrogant as doctors? :)"

Alright, now you really are trying to be funny!
