New study reveals how scientific progress is redefined, challenging traditional views.
The article discusses how scientific theories can progress without directly contradicting each other. It criticizes previous ideas that new theories must either include or reject parts of old ones. The authors suggest a new way to view scientific progress, where theories can be different without being in conflict. This new approach focuses on how theories are tested in the real world, rather than just on their logical structure. This helps to explain how one theory can build upon another without invalidating it.
