Things certainly have changed since then.
Nowadays, "scientists" won't wait a while for proof of glowBull warming. They run all over he planet trying to catch a total grant, while fighting anybody telling them anything from facts to real data.
Yeah, modern theoretical scientists could learn a lot from Einstein.
Isaac Newton was a great scientist, perhaps the greatest of all time. If Newton's view of gravity had been accepted as “settled science”, then Einstein's view never would have been considered, and Einstein himself would have been ignored, even shunned.
And any evidence supporting Einstein would have been cooked to make it appear that Newton was right.
Ain't settled science great?
