We humans love to build, but building something requires a solid base. And if your base is not solid, then whatever you are building does not stand proud. Science as a way of working tends to try and build on the latest discoveries, but they often treat more fundamental discoveries with less scrutiny.
But are we absolutely sure that the various theories that we have proven to be true, and the ones we discarded, were all properly evaluated? Could it be we erred on some fundamental theory, discarding it while it was in fact true?
Such a mistake would soon ripple through to newer theories and research, leading them into an avenue of compounding errors. I truly believe that science has disregarded certain aspects in the writing of Walter Russell, called "the Universal One". It just makes so much intuitive sense, even though it was written over a century ago!
