  False Dichotomy. by Arachnid2007-01-22 16:54:39
    What else would you call it? by subbywan2007-01-22 17:10:53

g tangents.

Consider the belief that atoms were the smallest particles. For ages, that was the accepted scientific theory. However, scientists discovered that their models didn't account for all conditions, and that there were some anomalies.

So they started looking for something smaller, and came up with protons, neutrons and electrons, which answered many of the anomalies presented by atoms. However, that opened up a whole new set of issues around those, which led to quarks and neutrinos and other sub-atomic particles and got us into quantum physics, much (possibly most) of which cannot be satisfied under the scientific method. Logically, this would mean there's still something under the quantum layer we haven't yet penetrated.
