As soon as further observation shows that the working hypothesis is faulty, it is replaced by another which seems more nearly correct. "Fortunately, scientific endeavor does not have to be perfect to yield results. The magnificent structure of dynamics was based on a differential calculus that was, logically, full of holes." Kepler's laws explaining planetary motion were...
