WILL THE NEXT ONE EVEN BE A PARADIGM SHIFT IF NMO ONE BELIEVES IN THE PARADIGM TO BEGIN WITH?:

Random Acts of Science: a review of QUANTUM: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality By Manjit Kumar (GRAHAM FARMELO, 6/13/10, NY Times Book Review)

In his lively new book, “Quantum,” the science writer Manjit Kumar cites a poll about the interpretation of quantum mechanics, taken among physicists at a conference in 1999. Of the 90 respondents, only four said they accepted the standard interpretation taught in every undergraduate physics course in the world. Thirty favored a modern interpretation, laid out in 1957 by the Princeton theoretician Hugh Everett III, while 50 ticked the box labeled “none of the above or undecided.” Almost a century after a few physicists first set out the basic theory, quantum mechanics is still a work in progress.

Which is what separates scientists from Darwinists.
