Modern Science is Out of the Box...

...and can't be put back in.  Even if all of modern science were false, and a beautiful and elegant new theory arose that replaced all of it, industrial science is here to stay; the days of at-home laboratories and individual pioneers making giant strides on their own are behind us.

I say this fully cognizant of the fact that the industrial revolution is shortly to meet its match in at-home production via devices such as 3D printers.  History may make a liar of me yet.
