Part 8/12:
For instance, Einstein's general relativity predicts black holes at singularities—points where equations blow up and lose definition. The critique is that singularities do not truly exist; they are just signs of insufficient modeling, pointing toward the need for more detailed or alternative theories.
The Role of Failing and Incomplete Models in Scientific Progress
A key message is that failure is not the enemy but the catalyst for scientific evolution. Physicists often hide or downplay experimental anomalies, fearing the embarrassment of failure. Yet, embracing errors and studying why models fail can uncover new physics.
