"Euclid, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Einstein. That represents (*I* would argue) the total number of times in western science where the kinds of shifts in understanding required by cold fusion (for example) have occurred."

I'm not sure I agree, Jim, although it could just be that my little knowledge is a dangerous thing. That list seems, to my relatively untrained eye, to be a bit biased towards physics. What about Darwin? And Lavoisier's discovery of oxygen and disproving of the phlogiston theory?

Ever read Thomas Khun? His "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" is one of those very worthy books that are incredibly hard to read.
