Ever seen that remark before?
Physics did find phlogiston much more than two centuries ago--we now
call it oxygen. But today physics has become so mired in
conventionality that it is searching for a multiplicity of purely
hypothetical entities--such as dark matter, gravity waves, dark
energy, magnetic reconnections, Higgs bosons--that it needs to make
its equations plausible but that are more than unlikely to exist.
Economics has nothing to envy physics about, and vice-versa.
