i'll leave you decide whether this is anything like a physical science
with the words changed.
he looked at me and gave me a nice big warm smile, and said, the dark
matter and dark energy compute and give the astrophysicists consistent
equations for their big-bang model universe, and the astronomers still
publish and are believed that the data fits their big bang model, and
the entities are new, so all is good. When the data trips over these
entities and they think a few new dimensions or something is needed to
validate their model of the universe, they will want other new
entities, and evaluate them similarly.
