What scientific idea is ready for retirement? Science advances by discovering new things and developing new ideas, but few truly new ideas are developed without abandoning old ones first. Edge.org, an online gathering of intellectuals, asked nearly 200 individuals from across the world and from every discipline (scientific and non-scientific) the question, What established scientific idea is ready to be moved aside so that science can advance? The responses were tremendously diverse—everything from race and the uniformity and uniqueness of the universe to geometry and infinity. See what concepts these experts think are ready for a farewell at edge.org/responses/what-scientific-idea-is-ready-for-retirement.
