No theories are not discovered. Facts are discovered. Theories are meta-narratives that explain facts, laws and observations. They are constructed and have enormous explanatory power. 99.9999% of science is the hard work of discovering the little details that lead incrementally to progress. That process continues to develop exponentially.
Your lack of knowledge of that progress tells us something about your intellectual laziness but nothing at all about science.
The mere fact that you ask about the discovery of new theories shows that you don't understand your own objection.
Not sure if you are obtuse or trolling?
Dunning - Kruger effect.
And more postmodern bullshit from SBF. So fucking boring.
perhaps you can illuminate me?
Perhaps you can do your own research.
All scientific advances are going to be incremental. The huge leaps forward are less and less likely with the passing of time. Obviously!
my brother has been talking about the earth being flat and some big conspiracy going on to make people beieve otherwise.
what are people's thoughts on this?.
So the big question is, why are YOU afraid to look outside of your accepted worldview indoctrination now?
I have spent more than 20 years considering all sorts of ideas. No need to put words in upper-case to get my attention by the way. Facts always catch my attention. Shouting bullshit doesn't.
captaingirl - The progress in medical genetics in recent decades is astonishing.
If you can't think of many more advances in human knowledge you are just not paying attention.

kairos - I have never extracted DNA but I believe it really exists and that it consists of 4 nucleotides. I have never seen photosynthesis at a molecular level but I believe that leaves do consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen and sugars. I have never visited a deep sea vent but I do believe they sustain a strange ecology, I have never visited a tectonic boundary but I do believe continents are moving.
The possibility of these things being a conspiracy of lies is infinitely more unlikely than that they are true.
Conspiracy theorists are the most gullible people on earth.
Scientist thinking
Scientist has exciting idea
Data says idea is bollocks
Scientist sad
