The National Post: scientific ideas to “retire”
“Unlike rock stars, scientific ideas do not usually burn out. They fade away and outlast their usefulness.
This is what motivated a new survey of 166 scientists and intellectuals, asking which ideas ought to be “retired” from science, not quite because they are wrong, but because they are old and ineffective, like nature versus nurture, left-brain versus right-brain, or carbon footprints.”
Joesph Brean, “IQ, Big Bang, evolution on list of incomplete or outdated ideas scientists suggest are ready to be ‘retired’,” The National Post, January 14th 2014.
