A good analogy carries you halfway and then needs to be dropped. The data looked like noise until someone plotted it on a log scale. Nature rarely uses one mechanism when three will do.
Lessons
A good analogy carries you halfway and then needs to be dropped. The data looked like noise until someone plotted it on a log scale. The experiment was cheap, clever and took eleven years.
History is full of correct ideas that waited decades for evidence. We know the rules well; the surprises live at the edges.
Context
Every answer here comes with a better question attached. History is full of correct ideas that waited decades for evidence. Uncertainty is not ignorance; it is a measured honest range. Nature rarely uses one mechanism when three will do.
History is full of correct ideas that waited decades for evidence. The math is elegant, but the instrument is the real hero.
