Excerpt

Any discipline that aspires to be scientific embraces the study and development of theory as part of its cornerstone. In different sciences, such as for example in physics, there are competing incommensurable theories. Researchers may belong to one group working on a theory, trying to defend and argue its supremacy, without success; in another discipline, such as material science, researchers succeed in connecting multi-level theories and for this effort, received the Nobel Prize. …
