Science, as we think of it has only been around for some 500 years. But look what it has accomplished in that time! It has accomplished so much in such a short time because through theory, experimentation, and development it builds upon each discovery new discoveries, new technologies, and new inventions. It methodically researches nature to see what it new things it can discover. It uses every new tool to make new discoveries. It uses each new theory to develop new applications.
What you advocate as the ideal seems to be un-science. The random stupid search for the unknown. The way that was found to provide very few results. Of course, your insistence on the stupid way of doing things does not surprise me, since the stupid way, the undesigned way, the undirected way, the thoughtless way, the mindless way, is the way of evolution.
Do you dispute my examples? 500 years?!? - you still have not refuted the CRT - cathode - gas disharge LIES you have been promulgating, and which were the central thrust of my post. Perhaps you should re-read my post again, rather than selecting 10 words from a 4 paragraph discursion to respond to.
Moreover, you are still wrong. The theory-application-invention paradigm you assert is of very recent development, perhaps 150 years.
And I am sure you will have something to say about "LIES" = - rest assured I understand that lying requires an intentional mistatement, and that your ignorance is an absolute defense.
