Is a thread which I have been following for some time now. Rather than stick my oar in there, I am starting a new thread on a related topic. fundamental -> interactions -> medium -> instruments -> raw observations -> transmission -> processing -> correlation -> interpretation -> understanding At each step of the way from the fundamental to our understanding of what is happening, errors can be introduced, most commonly at the stage of interpretation. We achieve a consensus of what is reality through the scientific method among other tools. So the four elements earth, air, fire, and water of the ancients have evolved into a few quarks or so in modern theory, along the way passing through the stage of trillions of molecules, a couple hundred "elements", and a similar number of subatomic particles. Nature did not change its structure during the evolution of our understanding, it was just our interpretation that evolved. I have to wonder as we close in on the last of the hypothesized quarks if we are about to unfold a strange landscape of various colors and flavors lying beneath the quarks...
