Notes

  1. The scienticity of an idea may have some additional influence on its success – after all, part of what makes classical mechanics important is not that it deals with strange and unfamiliar things – we have all experienced inertia or seen the trajectory of a projectile – but that it does so with a degree of mathematical precision that allows modern artillery fire to be so lethally accurate.
